I wonder the same thing.
i believe that takes 24 hours and/or know who took them/vehicle type at least. I think its harder if they only believe they have been abducted. or something similar to that.
My friend and I were thinking the same thing. I think time has something to do with it and, purely guessing, do they need a vehicle description of some sort as well?
This happened about a mile or two from our house and where I grew up. I was strongly considering driving out there today to help search but since there is no official vehicle description I'm not sure what to really look for besides the girls photo.
Any LEO on here or people with experience want to give any insight on the process that law enforcement use for kidnappings and cases like this?
Just searched this. here is what I found

•The abduction is of a child aged 17 years or younger.
•The child’s name and other critical data elements, including the Child Abduction flag, have been entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) system
