Missing in Foley

Missing in Foley

A frantic call from some Foley parents last night and police and search teams begin looking for their 15 year old daughter.

A child is missing. A 15 year old girl leaves home in the middle of the night.
"We're doing everything in our power to get this girl back home safely," says a search weary Lt. David White.
The search is already 12 hours old.
But the way Foley police handles this case and any case involving missing children has changed. Last month after training with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, there's a new sense of urgency attached to missing cases.
"Anytime a child goes missing, missing is missing and we want to get them back as fast as we can." Police Chief David Wilson says each case is a top priority. "Some people look at it as just a juvenile who has run away well nationwide 80 percent of abducted children start out as runaways. Either they are abducted when they go missing or they are in a place they are not suppose to be and they get abducted."
The new effort may already be working. In this case, the teenager is found and returned home within 24 hours, safe and unharmed.
Chief Wilson says he wants his officers to treat each missing persons case as if it were their own child that was missing.
