( CNN ) -- The distraught mother of a missing five-year-old girl broke down in sobs Wednesday as she pleaded for help to find her daughter , April Jones , who was snatched from a street in Wales as she played . Coral Jones ' televised appeal for information was brief but heart-rending in its desperation . `` It has been 36 hours since our April was taken from us , '' she said , her voice shaky with emotion . `` There must be someone out there who knows where she is and can help the police find her . `` We are desperate for any news -- April is only five years old . Please , please help us find her . '' Coral Jones was led away from the news conference in tears . Police urged the public to share any piece of information that could lead them to the little girl , who was last seen playing with a friend near her home in a small mid-Wales town Monday . No trace of April has been found since she apparently got into a vehicle that stopped on the street and then drove off . Wednesday , police identified a man arrested the day before on suspicion of abduction as 46-year-old Mark Bridger . The force also released images of Bridger and a vehicle and appealed for help to trace his movements between Monday evening and Tuesday afternoon . Detective Superintendent Reg Bevan , of Dyfed-Powys Police , said officers `` are pursuing a number of lines of inquiry , and Mark Bridger is one of them . '' He also called on anyone who has any information about the case to contact authorities and end the family 's nightmare . `` Please call us , '' he said . `` Do n't assume someone else has contacted us -- even the smallest piece of information could be crucial to the investigation . '' Meanwhile , police , mountain rescue teams and dozens of volunteers continue to scour the town of Machynlleth , the surrounding countryside and the nearby River Dyfi -- fast-flowing after recent rain -- for any trace of the girl . One photograph released by the police shows a pretty , brown-haired child smiling as she shows off a pink summer dress , another has her peering up at the camera shyly , her arm colored with paint . Her abduction from the street as she played on her bike with a friend has stunned what police say is a close-knit local community . The only witnesses were other children , who police had to question sensitively . And the usually quiet market town of just over 2,000 people , set in a remote corner of rural Wales , is now at the heart of a manhunt that has gripped the nation since the first reports that the little girl had gone missing . The owner of one local garage , Nerys Zjalic , told CNN by telephone Tuesday that she had opened her garage to supply fuel to motorists who were searching for the girl , and had not closed it since . `` Last night people were coming all the way from Caernarfon , which is 80 miles away in North Wales , after hearing about the abduction on Facebook , '' she said . Detective Chief Superintendent Simon Powell said Tuesday that police were following several lines of inquiry . `` April was last seen playing on a bicycle near her home address at around 7.30 p.m. and was seen getting into what we believe was a light-colored van which then drove off , '' Powell said . Police are expected to give another news conference later Wednesday . Coral Jones ' latest plea for help comes only a day after she and April 's father made a direct appeal to whoever had taken their daughter to bring her back . `` Last night our lives were shattered when our beautiful little girl April ... was taken from us . We are devastated and our lives have stopped , '' a statement from them said Tuesday . `` Please , please , if you have our little girl let her come home to us . ''
`` There must be someone out there who knows where she is , '' says April 's mother . But no one has ever found her. April Jones was abducted from the street near her home in a small mid-Wales town . Police appeal for details on the movements of 46-year-old Mark Bridger .
