Clark County Emergency Management (EMA) and the Sheriff’s Office are launching a second coordinated search for 14‑year‑old Lillian Stanley, who was reported missing Friday at 10:30 a.m. near her home on State Road 62 in New Washington, Indiana.
Search efforts intensified
After the initial report, EMA deployed ground search teams and K‑9 units on Saturday noon to sweep the surrounding area. The agency confirmed that volunteers, law‑enforcement officers, and trained dogs are combing fields, woods, and any accessible terrain where Lillian might have been seen.
Assistant Chief Mark Grube of the Clark County Sheriff’s Office said the investigation is being treated with the utmost urgency. “Our investigators are working diligently to locate Lillian using every resource we have, including our partners at Clark County EMA,” Grube said.
Details about the missing teen
Lillian is described as a white female with hazel eyes and brown hair. At the time she disappeared, she was wearing black sweatpants and a camouflage hoodie. She was last seen leaving her home, and no signs of foul play have been reported.
How the community can help
