RUSH SPRINGS, Okla. -

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is searching for a missing 4-year-old girl in the area near a home that belonged the caregivers in Rush Springs.

Special Coverage: Athena Brownfield

Property records showed that a home in the area belonged to the caregivers of Athena Brownfield.

Both caregivers, Ivon and Alysia Adams, were arrested in connection to the disappearance of Athena.

Brownfield was reported missing Tuesday, but it is believed she had been missing for longer than that. Authorities and community members from Cyril, Okla., have been searching for Athena for days.

The girl's older sister was found wandering Tuesday near their home on West Nebraska Road when a mail carrier noticed her along and notified police.

The girl's home was blocked and surrounded by crime tape early Friday, a neighbor told News 9. That neighbor told News 9 that a white SUV was towed from the property.

The OSBI is still searching for Athena and asks anyone with information on her whereabouts to call the OSBI or email them at tips@osbi.ok.gov.

Athena was last seen a wearing pink butterfly sweater and pants and has blue eyes and blonde hair.

The search continues on Friday morning for missing 4-year-old Athena Brownfield.
