An amber alert has been issued for a 13-year-old Wisconsin girl who went missing after her parents were found dead, authorities said on Oct. 15.
Jayme Closs, a white girl, was missing when law enforcement officers responded to a 911 call in Barron on Monday and found her parents dead.
Closs is described as standing 5'0” and weighing 100 pounds, with blonde hair and green eyes.
Possible Sighting
People in the Miami, Florida, area were alerted the same day the alert was issued that Closs could be nearby.“If it was her, she was in a black Ford Explorer with a possible WI plate of I60WER,” it added.
The white girl with them matched the description of Closs.
Anyone with information is being urged to contact the authorities.
Parents Found Dead
The search for Closs came after authorities found James Closs, 56, and Denise Closs, 46, dead in their home around 1 a.m. on Monday after receiving a 911 call from an unknown person triggering the response.“At the end of the day, I want a 13-year-old here safe and sound. That’s our goal. That’s our only goal right now,” Fitzgerald said.
He did add that Closs is not considered a suspect in the death of her parents.
According to WEAU reporter Tajma Hall, both parents worked at Jennie-O, a turkey plant, in Barron.
“Let her go, she has a lot of people who love her and don’t want anything bad to happen,” she said.
