Ellie Webb Missing – The Garland County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s assistance as deputies continue searching for a missing child. Authorities say a 12-year-old girl has been reported missing, and efforts are underway to locate her and ensure her safety.
According to the sheriff’s office, the child has been identified as Ellie Webb. Deputies said she was last seen in the area of the 100 block of Collier Drive. At this time, officials have not shared details about when she was last seen, but they emphasized that finding her quickly is a top priority.
Ellie is described as having straight, shoulder-length hair and wearing glasses. Deputies noted that they are currently unsure what clothing she may have been wearing when she was last seen. No additional identifying details have been released, as the investigation remains active.
Law enforcement officials said they are following standard procedures for missing juvenile cases. These efforts typically include checking nearby locations, speaking with family members and others who may have seen or interacted with the child recently, and reviewing any available information that could help determine where she might be. Deputies are also working to raise public awareness in hopes that someone may recognize Ellie or have information that could assist in the search.
Authorities stressed that community involvement can be critical in locating missing children. Even small pieces of information can sometimes help investigators develop new leads or confirm sightings. Residents in the area are encouraged to remain alert and to report anything that may be relevant.
The sheriff’s office also cautioned the public to rely on verified information shared by law enforcement. While spreading awareness is important, officials say sharing unconfirmed rumors or speculation on social media can sometimes create confusion and make investigations more difficult. Instead, they encourage people to report tips directly to authorities.
Deputies have released a photo of Ellie to help the public recognize her. Officials hope that by sharing her description and image, someone may come forward with information about her whereabouts. Law enforcement noted that time is especially important in cases involving children, which is why they are asking for the public’s help.
Family members are understandably concerned and are working closely with investigators. The sheriff’s office did not release statements from the family but acknowledged the stress and uncertainty that comes with a missing child case. Authorities said their focus remains on locating Ellie as quickly and safely as possible.
Anyone who believes they may have seen Ellie Webb or who has information about where she might be is urged to contact the Garland County Sheriff’s Office immediately. Tips can be provided directly to law enforcement so they can be evaluated promptly. Officials emphasized that all information will be taken seriously.
As the search continues, deputies said they will share updates if new details become available. In the meantime, they are asking residents to keep an eye out in their neighborhoods and surrounding areas and to report any possible sightings. The sheriff’s office thanked the community for its cooperation and support as the effort to find Ellie Webb continues.
