Authorities have arrested two people accused of giving shelter to a missing Riverview girl, but they are still looking for the child.
Christopher Allen Dickens, 27, and Jerri Lynn Sloan, 28, both of Riverview, were arrested Friday on charges of interference with child custody and retaliating against a witness, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
Charity Thomas, 14, had told witnesses that Dickens and Sloan were going to give her a place to live, after which the suspects called a witness and threatened the family if they did not discontinue the search, deputies said.
The two were held at the Falkenburg Road Jail without bail.
