(A) アリスはどこだ?- Where is Alice?

I`m curious about the だ copula in this question. Is it actually okay to ask a question in this way? The way I understood The Basics section, だ is never used at the end of questions.

What about these alternatives? Are they okay? How are they different?

アリスはどこの?
アリスはどこだの?
