Search for missing Rockcastle Co. teen enters second week

ROCKCASTLE COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - Officials are still searching for a missing Rockcastle County teen.

It has now been over a week since 13-year-old Wynter Wagoner was reported missing.

In a press conference Wednesday afternoon, officials involved in the search shared that Wynter was last seen on Oct. 14, when she was picked up early from school by her foster parents. It was reported that she was not feeling well and was resting at home, but when her parents went to check on her at dinnertime, they discovered she was gone.

Officials have been executing ground searches on the wooded area behind the home where she was last seen, as well as a drone search. One of the family members at the press conference claimed off camera that Wynter had called her first cousin before her disappearance. That call that is currently being investigated by the FBI.

“We have all been devastated. Family time has changed, people are anxiously looking out windows and driving by areas. If you see something, say something. Everything is important. There is no where we won’t look, there is no rock we won’t try to crawl under. So, it’s been devastating for the community, but we are looking and praying for a positive resolution,” said Shannon Franklin, Rockcastle County Sheriff.

If you have any information relating to Wynter’s disappearance you are asked to contact the Rockcastle County Sheriff’s Office at (606) 256-2032.
