You're watching multisource US video news analysis from Newsy.
The case of missing 11-year-old Celina Cass has grabbed national attention -- and turned one small New Hampshire town upside down.
MICHELLE FRANZEN, NBC: “New Hampshire attorney general Jane Young says Cass was last seen Monday night on the computer at her family’s home. The girl’s mom and stepfather have not spoken publicly, but Young says they, along with hundreds of others, have been interviewed.”
JANE YOUNG, NH ASST. ATTORNEY GENERAL: “They have been cooperative with us.”
Details are scarce -- authorities haven’t released any information concerning suspects, motive, or leads.

And people from the area tell The Boston Globe -- the idea that someone they know could have done something to her -- is doubly horrifying.
One woman says...
“Everybody here - we all grew up together... My kids hang out with the kids of people I grew up with.”
And another adds...
“I don’t want to think that it’s anybody from around here... If it’s anyone we know, it will be so devastating to this town.”
But in its report, ABC dug up some court papers on Celina’s stepfather -- who has not been named as a suspect.
RON CLAIBORNE, ABC: “In 2003, a judge ordered Wendell Noyes, now Celina’s stepfather, to a state mental hospital after Noyes was accused of threatening an ex-girlfriend. …He and other family members declined to speak to us, saying they want ‘absolute privacy.’”
And upping the ante--rewards for any information. The Union Leader reports...
“...two rewards were posted Saturday as fresh manpower and more equipment arrived in town. The largest of the rewards is $25,000, offered by the FBI for information leading to ‘the location, arrest and prosecution’ in the disappearance of Cass... The second $5,000 reward was put up anonymously by a local resident; it is not tied to prosecution, but simply seeks information leading to her whereabouts.”
Investigators have expanded their search into Canada and continue asking the public for any information.
