(CNN) A 13-year-old girl is missing and believed in danger after her parents were found slain in their northwestern Wisconsin home, authorities said.
An Amber Alert has been issued for Jayme Closs, whose parents were found dead in their home near Barron shortly after someone there called 911 early Monday, the Barron County Sheriff's Department said.
Investigators are trying to find out not only where Jayme is, but what led to her parents' deaths. They have searched the area around the home, including with drones and infrared, and have searched her school and interviewed her friends, officials said Tuesday.
Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald, speaking at a press conference, described Jayme was a sweet and shy girl who enjoys dancing and sports. Fitzgerald said that Jayme attended a family gathering on Sunday afternoon and that he does not believe she ran away.
"Jayme is out there. We want to find her and that's our goal," Fitzgerald told reporters Tuesday afternoon.

She is the one in the middle.
Edit: someone mentioned the need for a gallery so I added a few more pictures of her.

I wonder, with these Amber Alerts, why they don't post a gallery of every image they have of the kis. I rarely see more than 1, and in this case very little about this image would help me recognize her out in public. I live in Florida, but I could walk right past her and not realize it. If nothing else, I doubt a child who just had her parents killed and was kidnapped would be smiling, which is the most distinguished feature of this image.
