The Isle of Wight County Sheriff's Office is looking for a missing 10-year-old girl.
Katelyn Clark has been missing since 6:30 a.m. on Monday, according to the IOW County Sheriff's Office. Her parents woke up this morning to find her missing, and after reviewing home security footage, saw that she left their home on Green Wing Drive in Carrolton through the back.
Katelyn is 4-feet-tall, weighs 80 pounds, has blue eyes and brown hair, according to the IOW County Sheriff's Office. She was last seen wearing a black rain jacket, pajama pants and blue and pink shoes.
The sheriff's office says that Katelyn is not known to suffer from any medical or psychological issues.
Virginia State Police, Norfolk Police Drone Unit and other resources within the Isle of Wight are assisting in the search, according to the IOW Sheriff's Department. However, the sheriff's department is asking that citizens refrain from conducting their own searches because it could hamper ongoing efforts.
As of 10:27 p.m. on Monday, the Isle of Wight Sheriff's Office said that they were suspending the search for Katelyn.
They resumed searching on Tuesday morning, and said during the rest of the night, they will be following up on leads generated from a day of searching.
Anyone with information about Katlyn's whereabouts should contact the IOW County Sheriff's Office at 757-357-9001 or tpotter@iowso.com.
