Amber Alert for Kentucky Teen
Wednesday, April 20, 2005

TOMPKINSVILLE, Ky. — An Amber alert has been initiated by the Monroe County Sheriff's Department, which reports a 16-year-old Tompkinsville girl has been kidnapped.

The Amber alert says the victim is white, four-foot-eleven and weighs 85 pounds. She was wearing a red sweater with green squares and blue jeans.

The sheriff's report says she was abducted by five Hispanic males in a
red minivan or SUV while waiting for a school bus this morning.

Anyone with information about this abduction should call 270 856-3721.

I can only wonder why authorities did not release the girl's name or photograph. In any case, if true, we have yet another sad story unfolding before our eyes. One can only hope that this one will yet have a happy ending.
