CALGARY - The father of a missing Calgary girl is pleading with anyone who might have information to "do the right thing."
Colin Marsman says in a statement that five-year-old Taliyah Leigh Marsman is his "light" and loves her with all his heart.
He asks that she be allowed to come home to her family.
Police issued an Amber Alert for the girl early Tuesday after her mother, Sara Baillie, was found dead in a basement suite where the two lived.
Officers say family members last saw Taliyah on Sunday morning and became concerned when Baillie failed to show up for her job at an airport restaurant.
Police say they're investigating the death as a homicide.
