The Wright County Sheriff’s Office has issued a call for public assistance in the search for a missing teenager, Derek Sachs, who was last seen the night of July 3rd. The case has prompted local law enforcement to urge residents to be vigilant and to report any sightings or information that may help in locating the 16-year-old.
