The FBI has just become involved in the search for Carlie Marie Trent—a 9-year-old girl kidnapped by her uncle last week in Rogersville, Tennessee.
Both local authorities and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) have been looking for the girl since she was signed out of her Rogersville, Tenn., school during the afternoon hours of May 4 by her uncle, Gary Simpson, 57, who has no current custodial rights to Carlie. Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for him.
The TBI has received over 500 tips but there have been no credible sightings.
Simpson’s vehicle, a white 2002 Dodge Conversion Van with Tennessee registration plates 173-GPS, has been reportedly spotted multiple times—as far away as Idaho Falls, which is an almost 30-hour drive from Rogersville.
The FBI seeks information about the girl and has included a notice on its website’s list of Kidnappings & Missing Persons.
