The search for a teen missing from Ozark County, 16-year-old Savannah Leckie, continues in its sixth day Wednesday. According to Ozark County Sheriff Darrin Reed, Leckie disappeared from Longrun sometime between 11:00 last Wednesday night and 8:00 Thursday morning. Reed says the search for Leckie has been non-stop and they will not give up until she is found. His department has been using every resource available.
Leckie is a high functioning autistic and, according to authorities, will approach strangers “to a fault without understanding the dangers out there.
She is described as Caucasian, five-foot-two inches tall, petite, weighing 110 to 120 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She goes by the nickname “mouse” or “Andy”. She was last seen wearing a t-shirt and jeans and may have a teal and pink computer bag.
Investigators believe she may be trying to return to other friends or family in Minnesota or searching for her biological father’s relatives in Hollister.
