Last Wednesday, a Massachusetts family experienced every parent’s worst nightmare: Their child went missing. According to the Auburn MA Police Department, the 12-year-old child went missing at night, making the freezing temperatures all-the-more dangerous. The missing child was eventually found by a clever K9 officer but, first, hours passed without a trace of them.
During these terrifying hours, a variety of folks gathered to help. This includes the Auburn police officers and troops as well as detectives from the Detective Bureau. As the night progressed and temperatures continued to drop, time was of the essence.
