“All of us saw this lady walking around and we were like,’Guys, that’s her! That has to be her,'” Logan added.

“Our dispatchers were a little surprised to hear a 10-year-old on the other line,” Officer Rob Baquera with the Rossville Police Department said.
Baquera added that the group of “junior detectives” should give him a call in around 10 years for job opportunities. Logan said it would be “amazing” to become a detective.
Update: 6:36 p.m. the missing person has been located. She is safe and has been reunited with her family. Many thanks…
