A statewide amber alert was issued for a 13-year-old girl who was abducted from San Bernadino County early Sunday morning, according to the California Emergency Management Agency.

Miranda Hemphill was abducted from her Victorville home at approximately 2 a.m. by a 22-year-old man who her father says befriended her over the internet.

The San Bernadino Sheriff's Department issued the alert today at 1:27 a.m., just hours after her father made an online plea for his daughter to come home.

In that YouTube video--one that the sheriff's department said contains accurate information--Hemphill's father speaks to the camera in front of a picture of Miranda.

"You are amazing, you are everything to us," her father says in the video. "Please, just turn around and come home. My little hummingbird, please, I love you."

Hemphill is described as standing 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing 130 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

The suspect, Ivan Lopez, is a Hispanic male standing 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing 165 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Lopez is possibly driving a primer grey and white Chevrolet van with a California license plate of 2CIW894.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the sheriff's department at (866) 346-7632.
