The search for Mackenzie Paige Shelton began Wednesday at about 8 a.m. after her family reported her missing. Halifax County Deputies and K-9 Units responded and were able to track a path from her home to Cherry Hill Church in Cluster Springs, Virginia; however, the track ended at this point and it’s unclear if she may have gotten a ride from there.
After further investigation, authorities were able to determine that she appeared to have left on her own. Her cell phone and watch were found in the residence.
While investigators have received information indicating that she has been seen in surrounding counties and various states, there hasn’t been any word on her possible direction of travel, who she could be traveling with or the vehicle she might be traveling in.
Those acquainted with Shelton believe she could be headed to Missouri or Minnesota.
