Six-Year-Old Missing After Mother Found Dead of Apparent Suicide
Around noon this past Saturday police discovered the body of 39-year-old Lisa Wade in her home in Northfield, Minnesota. They have labeled her death as an “apparent suicide”.
A welfare check was requested by one of Wade’s extended family member’s which led to the discovery of the young woman dead inside her home. Wade’s six-year-old daughter, Elle Ragin, was nowhere to be found upon investigating.
Since then, investigators have been desperately searching for the missing girl and believe her disappearance is connected to her mother’s death.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the FBI Minneapolis Field Office are assisting on the case and would appreciate any information on Ragin’s disappearance. The young girl is approximately three feet and six inches tall and weighs about 45 pounds. She has brown curly hair and brown eyes.
