A Missouri man has been charged with kidnapping a 12-year-old girl who authorities and hundreds of volunteers are still actively searching for.

Bobby Bourne Jr., 34, of Lamar, Mo., was charged with kidnapping Tuesday in the disappearance of Adriaunna Horton, who was last seen Monday afternoon getting into a vehicle around 5 p.m. in Golden City, Mo.

Adriaunna's father, James Horton, told ABC News affiliate KODE-TV that the suspect is known to his family.

"He worked for me last summer on a job, a construction job. He was a neighbor. He lived less than a block behind us for a year," Horton said.
