On Friday, March 13, the Kentucky State Police (KSP) issued an IAN alert for Jenny Din, a 9-year-old girl who is autistic and non-verbal. The alert system is specifically for missing children under the age of 18 with autism or mental illness who are in potential danger.
Din was last seen walking on MacIntosh Lane in Florence at approximately 5 p.m. local time on Friday, the Boone County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) said in a news release shared on Facebook.
BCSO Lt. Anthony Theetge said that Din’s family believes she may have gone to a “warm, contained area” and they are asking people to “check anywhere someone may be looking to get warm,”
"We are going to be relying on the people who not only know the community but they know their own lay of the land. They know their own property. I know last night I harped on getting into your cars, checking your cars, checking your truck beds, cars that you feel have sat for a while and that you didn't really feel were warm and a safe place. Check them anyway. Check your sheds, check under your decks. If there is a little bit of a culvert under your front porch check that for us, we are asking you to look anywhere and everywhere that a young child may have looked to get some kind of shelter and safety," Theetge said.
