Vidalia, Louisiana (Concordia County) Police Department The evening of Wednesday, August 25, 2010, Sergeant Bush was leading a search for a missing 13 year old girl that had been seen earlier that afternoon. The girl had last been seen attending a church function. When her family went to look for her to leave, she was nowhere to be found. Sergeant Bush activated A Child Is Missing, as his department had done with successful results previously. Nearly 1,200 alert calls were placed surrounding the church, and those calls brought out numerous volunteers from the small community asking to assist Police with the search. When the girl still had not been found by early the next morning, Police and family became particularly concerned, because the church the girl went missing from was within walking distance to the Mississippi River. An additional 1,800 alert calls were launched, and these calls lead to the girls safe recovery, approximately a quarter mile from where she had gone missing.
