Authorities in Georgetown are actively searching for two young children who were reported missing earlier this week, and they are urging the community to come forward with any information that may help bring them home safely.
According to officials, 11-year-old Gatlin Woods and 8-year-old Attolie Woods were last seen on March 23 at approximately 4:30 p.m. in the area of Dale Hollow Drive in Georgetown. Since that time, there has been no confirmed contact, prompting an active investigation by local law enforcement.
Police officers have been canvassing the neighborhood, speaking with residents, and reviewing available information in an effort to determine the children’s whereabouts. Community members in the surrounding area are encouraged to check security cameras, doorbell footage, garages, sheds, and any other spaces where the children may have sought shelter or passed through.
The Georgetown Police Department is emphasizing the importance of community cooperation during this time. Even the smallest detail could prove critical in helping investigators piece together a timeline and locate the children safely.
Parents and guardians are also reminded to speak with their children about staying close to home, avoiding unfamiliar areas, and reporting anything unusual to a trusted adult immediately.
Anyone who has seen Gatlin Woods or Attolie Woods, or who has any information about where they may be, is urged to contact the Georgetown Police Department through Scott County Dispatch at (502) 863-7820 and ask to speak with an officer regarding this case.
Officials continue to treat this matter with urgency and are asking the public to remain alert and assist in any way possible.
