Since Javeayah Kemauni Harris was reported missing Tuesday night from her home in Aiken, South Carolina, authorities said they have searched 3,000 acres.<\/p>\n

The search resumed Friday morning, Aiken County deputies said. <\/p>\n

\u201cNot knowing is killing me,\u201d her father, Johmarea Harris, told News 12. \u201cIt\u2019s killing me, like, because, like, I mean, you see stuff like this often, but you don\u2019t expect it to be you.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the girl\u2019s mom, \u201cShe\u2019s still a little tore, but she\u2019s making it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Harris said that he was out of the house when the girl was reported missing, but he knew something was going on when he saw a lot of patrol vehicles in the area. He was doing laundry and had visited a convenience store, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was seeing a lot of police and stuff going through. And I was wondering, I was like, you know what I\u2019m saying, you know, a lot of stuff goes on in Aiken to where you would be, like, OK, it\u2019s a police or whatever,\u201d he said. \u201cBut you know, I didn\u2019t know that it was my house. But my girlfriend, at the time she didn\u2019t have service. She didn\u2019t have a service on her phone, so she couldn\u2019t call me to let me know anything that was going on. So she just ended up calling 911. So when I came back to the house, before I got on my road, I seen a police truck with a drone out.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that\u2019s when he sped up.<\/p>\n

\u201cCause I was like, it\u2019s something going down like close to my house. When I got turned on my road, I seen a whole bunch of police is like right in my house. So that\u2019s when I hurried up and I got to the house and I was like, what\u2019s going on?\u201d he said. \u201cI thought my girlfriend was in labor because she was supposed to have a baby. You know what I\u2019m saying? So she ended up having a child that same night on July 1st. But she came up crying to me saying, Javeayah is missing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harris also said that Javeayah was not one to run away and that, despite some media reports, there is no indication she\u2019s autistic.<\/p>\n

He said they have no idea what could have happened to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no clue. Like, sir. I don\u2019t. I don\u2019t, like, it\u2019s really wild, but I had, like I said, I had, I had gave all of these detectives information about people snooping around the house lately,\u201d Harris said.<\/p>\n

Javeayah was reportedly last seen playing with chickens in the family\u2019s coop around 8 p.m. Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Aiken County Sheriff Marty Saywer said the information authorities have is that she wandered away on her own, and that, \u201cthis is still a search effort.\u201d<\/p>\n

So far, more than 3,000 acres have been searched. Roads were blocked off and drivers questioned. A helicopter, drones, dogs and more than 200 first responders have been called in to join the search efforts.<\/p>\n

Javeayah was last seen wearing pink Minnie Mouse pajamas and Crocs, and had pink beads in braided hair. She is 3 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 40 pounds.<\/p>\n
