MONROE, MICH -- Eight full days into the search for 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan and authorities are no closer to finding the little girl.

Tensions are building between the family and authorities.  Some family members claim they are not being kept up to speed on the investigation into Nevaeh's disappearance. 

Searchers say they are frustrated by a lack of cooperation with the Monroe County Sheriff's Department. 

"Oh that would be awesome if they would actually do something and tell us something, anything, anything an area to go to, directions. Like this green van I've heard so much about, they won't tell us a description of the van, so we would know what to look for, won't tell us nothin' about it," said Anthony Boyer who is searching for Nevaeh.

Authorities say they are not revealing everything they know for fear it may tip the wrong person off. 

Meanwhile, some relatives of the missing girl are making an unthinkable accusation.  Carla Elliotte, Nevaeh's paternal grandmother, has been accused of stealing donation money.

Elliotte, who had been camped out at the Charlotte Arms Apartment Complex since last Monday, has been a no-show at vigils and searches for the past three days.  Family believes she has stolen donation money and skipped town.

James Easter, is no longer a "person of interest" in the case, according to Monroe County officials. Easter was arrested over the weekend after allegedly burning items on his property just after being questioned by police about Nevaeh's disappearance.  

George Kennedy and Roy Lee Smith do remain "persons of interest" in the girl's disappearance.  They are both in jail on unrelated parole violations.

An all day search is scheduled for Tuesday in Monroe.
