ROCKERVILLE, S.D. (AP) - The Pennington County Sheriff’s Office says improved weather will allow additional searches to resume for a missing 9-year-old girl who ran away from a residential treatment facility last month.
The sheriff’s office says air and ground searches will resume Wednesday for Serenity Dennard who disappeared in frigid weather Feb. 3 when she ran away from Black Hill’s Children’s Home near Rockerville. Authorities say she was not dressed for the weather and that it’s unlikely she survived if she was outside.
Searchers with specially trained dogs have looked extensively for the girl, but have been hampered previously by wintry weather.
