Officials in Florida's Panhandle are looking for a 7-month-old baby who disappeared from a Chipley home and that they are considering endangered.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office said Shannon Lea Dedrick disappeared from a home about 11:30 a.m. Saturday.
The child was reported missing by the parents and an active search is under way in the Brown Street area of Chipley. Search and rescue teams from Bay, Gulf, Jackson and Liberty counties are assisting in the search, was well as the Graceville Police Department.
Washington County Sheriff Bobby Haddock told the Panama City News Herald that nothing at this time makes them think the baby was abducted, but she "didn’t crawl or walk away."
The girl is 2 feet tall, weighs 11 pounds and has brown hair and blue eyes.
Late Sunday, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement issued a statewide alert for the child.
Anyone with information about the child is asked to call the Washington County Sheriff’s Office at 850-638-6111.
