WARREN COUNTY, Ohio (WXIX) - A large search is underway in Warren County for a 4-year-old girl who went missing in her own neighborhood about noon Sunday.

Emrie was not wearing shoes when she was last seen on Ring camera footage going down the driveway of her home in the Turning Leaf subdivision off U.S. 22, according to Hamilton Township Police Chief Scott Hughes said.

Anyone who sees her should call 911.

Police have been searching all day. That search is now escalating as dark approaches.

“We’ve only got a couple more hours of daylight, so we’re really, like, full throttle,” Chief Hughes said. “It’s been all hands on deck, but now it’s really all hands on deck to try to locate her before dark.”

The chief is giving another update at 8:30 p.m.

Earlier, in a tweet, police said: “We are utilizing K9 units, Drones, and foot searches in an attempt to locate the location of Emrie. We are asking residents in and around 22/3, Cochran, Vista Ridge, and Zoar Road to keep an eye out. Please check your Ring cameras. If you see her, please call 911.”

Warren County’s dive team was called to search a pond in the subdivision where the child likes to go as a precaution, the chief said.

So far, there are no indications she is there, he said at news conference about 6:30 p.m.

It appears Emrie may have just wandered off, Township Administrator Brent Centers told FOX19 NOW earlier Sunday: “It’s my understanding that she was out playing and they realized she was missing. We are assuming every scenario possible.”

Chief Hughes said this situation doesn’t rise to the level of an Amber Alert because they have no indications she’s been abducted.

The police chief thanked and praised the community for their support during the hours-long search.

Neighbors immediately offered to help search for the child. Food and water appeared for first responders and searchers.

“The community has been phenomenal. You can see the food and the water stuff. Everybody’s coming together,” the chief said.

“Hamilton Township is a very quiet, safe and close-knit community, so you can just see from the outpouring of support here when something like this happens everyone comes together and that’s exactly what they are doing.”
