Authorities say more than 100 people are searching for a 9-year-old girl who ran away from a residential youth home amid frigid weather in South Dakota.

Investigators say the girl wasn’t wearing a coat when she slipped away from the Children’s Home Society on the morning of Feb. 3 near Rapid City. The temperature in the area was about 29 degrees at the time.
