The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office is reporting that a missing and endangered 17 year old female was located early this morning in a wooded section of Curtis Park in Stafford.
Stafford Deputies responded to an address on Tracey Lane in the Hartwood section of Stafford last night, Tuesday, May 27, at approximately 7:30 pm for a report of a missing 17 year old female with diminished intellectual capabilities. The teen had run away from her residence into the woods near her home.
Stafford deputies immediately initiated a search for the teen but were unable to locate her. Members of the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office Volunteer Search & Rescue Team were activated as well as additional Sheriff’s Office personnel. A lengthy search was begun that would ultimately include a helicopter and bloodhound from the Virginia State Police as well as dogs from Dog’ East, a local volunteer organization that uses their dogs to assist in search and rescue missions and Stafford Sheriff’s Office K-9 units These resources worked all night in a coordinated effort to locate the teen.
