Search For missing Adre-Anna Jackson Called Off
Adre-Anna Jackson disappeared Friday after she left her apartment to walk to school.
Police state that they called off the search on Saturday, even though her location was still unknown.
Lakewood Police on Saturday called off their search for a 10-year-old girl missing since Friday, even though her location was still unknown.
Adre-Anna Jackson disappeared Friday after she left her apartment for a five-minute walk to Tillicum Elementary. Her family said they didn’t realize she was missing until late Friday afternoon because they didn’t know the school was closed because of snow.
On Saturday, Lakewood Police searched the girl’s apartment, as well as nearby American Lake for clues to Adre-Anna’s disappearance.
“We haven’t given up hope,” Hall told The News Tribune Saturday night. “But we have searched all logical and available places where this young girl could have gone. “Right now we don’t have a whole lot,” Hall said. “But we’re going to continue interviewing and re-interviewing people to make sure we don’t miss anything.”
Adre-Anna’s disappearance is being treated as a missing person’s investigation
Her mother said the fourth grader was carrying a black and pink backpack. She was wearing blue jeans, possibly a blue shirt and white tennis shoes. She’s just under 5 feet tall and weighs approximately 78 pounds. She has brown hair with reddish highlights. She may have been wearing a puffy black coat or jacket.
The News Tribune: Police halt search for Tillicum girl 
The girl, described as artistic and well-spoken, disappeared Friday after she left her apartment to walk to Tillicum Elementary a few blocks from her home. But due to the snow, the school had closed that day. Family members said they didn’t realize the girl was missing until late Friday afternoon. They called the police.
The fourth-grader was last seen walking from her family’s apartment off Wads-worth Street Southwest toward Tillicum Elementary, about a five-minute stroll away. Standing outside the police command center in the Tillicum Elementary parking lot Saturday, Hall said there’s been no indication yet that Adre-Anna had been a victim of violence or been snatched by a stranger.
Police, family and rescue workers have “knocked on almost every door in Tillicum,” as well as searched the nearby American Lake and parks. Some even crossed Interstate 5 on the neighborhood’s eastern border to look in that area. Still, no sign of the girl.
Bloodhounds were brought in to find the girl’s scent, but didn’t find a trail, while divers searched American Lake without finding any clues.
