LUMBERTON, N.C. (WTVD) -- A 13-year-old girl has been missing for two weeks. An Amber Alert remains active for Hania Noelia Aguilar of Lumberton, North Carolina.

The FBI is offering a $25,000 reward for information in Hania Aguilar's disappearance. With the $5,000 Gov. Roy Cooper promised from the state, that brings the total to $30,000.

Lumberton police officials continue to work leads in Aguilar's disappearance. They previously encouraged the public to stop sharing "misinformation" about the Amber Alert case that has rocked the community for more than a week, saying that it is hampering their investigation.

The FBI is asking people with information to call 910-272-5871.

Hania Aguilar, 13, has been missing since around 7 a.m. on Nov. 5. It was around that time that police said she was abducted at Rosewood Mobile Home Park off East Elizabethtown Road while she was waiting to go to school.
