DELAND, FL A Florida deputy rescued a 13-year-old girl from a motel room where she was with a 22-year-old she met online.
The teen s grandmother reported her missing after she failed to come home after school Thursday. The girl missed her basketball game and had not been seen since classes dismissed.
The girl s friend told investigators that she had recently talked about meeting an older boy that she had met online.
That comes just days after a Pennsylvania man chatted with at least 10 students through their school-issued computers. He eventually abducted a 14-year-old from North Carolina. Law enforcement tracked him and the teen down in Arkansas, where the kidnapper died in a shootout with police.
GARY, Ind. (WLS) A missing teenage girl with autism is safe after a K-9 team helped track her down early Saturday morning in Northwest Indiana.
Gary police officers responded and began a search for the girl, but were unable to find her. That s when they called in off-duty Gary Corporal Brown and his K-9 Koba to try and track her down.
Once the pair got a scent sample for the teen, Koba was on her trail and found the girl a short time later in the 600-block of 48th Avenue.
She was not wearing any shoes, socks or a coat.
