Police searching for a 13-year-old schoolgirl believe she is still alive after making a second arrest over her disappearance.
In the latest police update on the search, Detective Inspector Helen Tate said: "Although we made a second arrest, unfortunately we still don't have Erika."
But she added that police were "closing in" as they investigate what has happened to the teenager from Sheffield.
South Yorkshire Police earlier arrested a 37-year-old man on suspicion of child abduction.
Det Insp Tate said: "The arrest is most certainly a man known to Erika and I feel he's had some contact with her in the last 48-96 hours."
Erika's disappearance has been described as 'out of character' Police also used a Slovakian interpreter to make a direct appeal to Erika to return home if she can.
The arrest came as her father told Sky News he has not been eating or sleeping since his daughter went missing.
Police have stressed "she is not in trouble", but have called on her to return to her "distraught" family.
Erika was last seen leaving her home in the Darnall area of Sheffield at around 4pm on Monday, August 5.
Police have been conducting house-to-house inquiries there, and have expanded their search to Bradford, where the suspect was arrested.
He is being taken to Sheffield where he will be questioned by officers from South Yorkshire Police.
There have been a number of unconfirmed sightings of the youngster and police say they have some "really positive" lines of enquiry.
But they are still asking the public for any information they have about the missing child.
Her disappearance has been described as "out of character".
Erika is described as being slim and around 4ft 11ins tall. She has long, dark-brown, straight hair and brown eyes.
She was last seen wearing blue jeans, a pink polo-style shirt and a silvery-grey coloured jacket.
A 22-year-old man from Bradford was released on police bail on Sunday after being arrested on suspicion of child abduction.
He approached police on Friday, the day officers made an urgent appeal for information about Erika's whereabouts.
:: Anyone with information about missing Erika is asked to call police on 101.
