“We understand the public’s concern and wanting to help, however, the search consists of difficult terrain and is a heavily wooded area.
“Untrained personnel in the area will make search efforts more difficult and put others at unnecessary risk.”
Lily is seven years old and about four feet tall with light brown hair and brown eyes.
She was last seen wearing all pink clothing.
Anyone with information on Lily’s whereabouts is urged to contact their local police or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
