Culver City police have called off a door-to-door search for a 5-year-old girl and investigators have begun questioning the child’s family and neighbors in an effort to find a clue to her disappearance.
Marquisha Shanee Chandler of Ontario was reported missing shortly after she arrived at the Fox Hills Mall about 4:15 p.m. Wednesday, accompanied by her grandmother, aunt and five other youngsters.
