An urgent AMBER Alert has swept across Bulverde, Texas, as authorities intensify the search for 13-year-old Carleigh O’Dell, who disappeared Wednesday night and is believed to be in critical danger, the Comal County Sheriff's Office has confirmed.

Missing since just before 9 p.m. along Ridge Creek Lane near Lonesome Dove, O'Dell's absence is ringing alarm bells with FOX San Antonio reporting that deputies are in hot pursuit of a 21-year-old man, believed to be driving a blue truck connected to the case.

Official details describe Carleigh as standing 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 139 pounds with green eyes and blonde hair, distinctively dressed in a grey sweatshirt emblazoned with "Lonestar Ranch," multi-colored shorts, and black Vans sneakers; this description cascades from both KENS 5 and FOX San Antonio's reports.

The man Carleigh is presumed to be with is further detailed as having facial hair and a receding hairline, alarming features that carve a face into the urgency of the present moment; anyone with information has been urged to immediately contact the Sheriff's Office at 830-620-3400, the call an echo through the canvass of this close-knit community trembling with concern for one of its own.
