Adrianna Horton was last seen about 5:30 pm Monday. That's when Authorities got a 911 call at 5:30pm Monday from Adrianna's father, James Horton.
Adrianna was last seen at Hazel Park in Golden City. She was with family and friends. They alerted the father.
At least one witness told police they saw her get into a pickup truck, but investigators say they are still trying to confirm that from other witnesses.
About 6:30pm, Barton County deputies located the truck and a suspect, who is male.
Investigators say they have not confirmed if Adrianna or her father knew the suspect. Law officers say they are familiar with the suspect, and that he lived in Golden City at one point in the past. His current residence was unclear. Investigators would not say if the suspect is cooperating with questioning.
The controlled search began about 10:30 Tuesday morning with volunteer teams of first responders, citizens and law officers.
It is focused on Kile Creek, (Muddy Creek, ) also known as the North Fork of Spring River in Barton County.
Investigators say they searched Hazel Park twice and feel they have covered it thoroughly.
Today, searchers will move, side by side, down the banks of the creek looking for signs of Adrianna.
Residents in Golden City are being asked if they see anything at all that looks out of place, call Barton County authorities or 911.
