The family of Victoria Stafford has released new video of the abducted girl.
They posted the home videos of her on YouTube and are hoping someone who has seen Tori will watch the footage and recognize the little girl.
In it, she is seen smiling for the camera and exploring a mountain stream on a family trip to Alberta nine months ago.
Meanwhile, Tori's mother is happy that a new stepped-up search has begun.
On Friday, the Ontario Provincial Police took the lead on the investigation from the Oxford Community Police, a move that made Tara McDonald "very, very happy."
Her daughter Victoria Stafford did not come home after school on April 8. The third-grade student was last seen on surveillance video walking with an unknown woman.
Though the Oxford Community Police canvassed the neighbourhood and performed an extensive ground search, the OPP was knocking on doors once again over the weekend.
The Under Water Search and Recovery Unit (USRU) scoured waterways in Woodstock, using a sonar device on a pond close to Victoria's school and other small bodies of water. So far, they haven't found anything.
"I feel confident. Not that I didn't before, you know, but I feel better that there's fresh eyes," McDonald added.
"Our police officers were getting exhausted, you know, so they're fresh eyes and some more energy and strength is being put into (the search)."
With the OPP's involvement, what was once a missing person's case has now been designated an abduction. The intensified search is expected to last at least a week, if not longer.
As for the unidentified woman last seen with Victoria, officers have said they have a "substantial direction" as to who she is, but didn't release more details.
