The Cass County Sheriff’s Office says it has received a report of a missing 13 year old girl, Gracie Annabelle Hensley, of Anita. She was last seen at around 7:45-a.m. Wednesday, wearing white Adidas shoes, gray Victoria’s Secret leggings, and had a yellow and green Nike Swish bag. Hensley is suspected to be in the company of a 17 year old male who absconded from Georgia, whose parents’ vehicle was found abandoned in the vicinity of Anita. The pair are suspected to be driving a white 2010 Ford F150 pickup with license plate “MARNIN” that belongs to Gracie’s family.

The Sheriff’s Office says this is considered to be a NON-ABDUCTION incident. They ask you to please report any sightings of the vehicle to the Cass County Sheriff’’s Office at 712-243-2206 or to the authorities in the vicinity the pickup has been seen. The teens are believed to be heading west from Iowa. Her family says Gracie’s cell phone was last pinged near Waverly, NE. It’s thought the phone is either shut-off or has a dead battery, because there have been no further pings.
