What they're saying:
"Age-progression images can spark recognition that leads to critical new information," John Bischoff, vice president of NCMEC's Missing Children Division, said in a statement. "We hope this image of Sabrina reaches someone who recognizes her, or perhaps even Sabrina herself, and helps bring long-awaited answers to her family and the community."
Steve Aisenberg noted that the family has never stopped looking for their daughter.
"After 28 years, we still believe answers are possible, and we ask the public to take a moment to look closely and share this image and call in with information that will help bring her home," he said, adding a direct message: "Sabrina, we love you, we miss you and we look forward to the day we are reunited as a family."
