The father of a child authorities have been looking for over the past week may have been seen at a gas station in Williams, Ariz., but the Department of Public Safety now says that sighting was not confirmed. 

According to DPS Tuesday morning, a citizen reported seeing 26-year-old Arlie Edward Hetrick III early in the morning. Hetrick is the biological father of the 4-year-old victim. 

The two were spotted in the Holbrook area last week which launched the Arizona Amber Alert for the child.

West Virginia State Police were looking for the victim, a white female, with brown-blonde hair and blue eyes. She is 3'0 and weighs 35 pounds. 

She was last seen on July 6 in Fairmont, West Virginia. 

Police believe she is with Hetrick. He has brown hair and blue eyes. He is 5'9 and 140 pounds. 

The car they are looking for is a 2001 Gold Subaru Forester with West Virginia plates. The license plate number is 1TH163. 

The Amber Alert was issued at around 9:45 a.m. out of Navajo County last Tuesday.
