The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department is actively searching for a missing Indiana family of five, including three young children who were last seen on the Fourth of July. According to NBC Chicago, the family vanished under circumstances that led authorities to believe the children "are believed to be in extreme danger and may require medical assistance."
A Silver Alert was broadcasted on Friday concerning the disappearance, targeting Willie Terrell, 50, Jessika Terrell, 31, and their three children Frankie, Queen, and King. Police last saw the children with their biological parents around 12:30 p.m. on July 4. Amid public solicitation, Indianapolis police are pleading for any information on the children or their parents, suggesting contacting them at (317) 327-6541 or dialing 911 for immediate assistance.
As reported by WFLA News, detailed descriptions of the missing children have been shared widely. Frankie Terrell, the oldest at 4 years old, is approximately 3 feet tall and 46 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes, last seen in a pink shirt and blue pants. Her sister Queen, 3 years old, shares similar features and was last seen in a pink shirt with gray pants, illuminated by light-up tennis shoes, standing 2 feet 6 inches tall and weighing about 30 pounds.
King Terrell, the youngest, was last seen at just 1 foot, 8 inches tall, weighing 15 pounds, clad in a Mickey Mouse outfit and red shoes. In a Silver Alert, a measure typically reserved for missing and endangered individuals or those at high risk, the disappearance of the Terrells has commanded the attention of the community and law enforcement alike. Descriptive information necessary for the alert was fortunately made available, allowing the statewide notice to be issued promptly.
