Chicago: A search for an"endangered"missing girl, whose parents were found shot dead in their home in the US state of Wisconsin, has expanded nationwide as police struggle to find clues to her whereabouts.
Thirteen-year-old Jayme Closs has been missing since Monday, when an emergency call led authorities to their rural home in the Midwestern state. Her parents had been shot to death and the teen was gone.
She is believed to have witnessed the murders, but is not considered a suspect based on evidence recovered at the scene, police said. An intensive search in her home state has failed to locate her despite involving some 100 people including volunteers and more than 800 phoned-in tips."Nothing of evidentiary value has been recovered,"the Barron County Sheriff's Department said in a Thursday statement.
