K-9 team helps locate missing teen with autism in Gary
GARY, Ind. (WLS) -- A missing teenage girl with autism is safe after a K-9 team helped track her down early Saturday morning in Northwest Indiana. Gary police officers responded and began a search for the girl, but were unable to find her. That's when they called in off-duty Gary Corporal Brown and his K-9 Koba to try and track her down. Once the pair got a scent sample for the teen, Koba was on her trail and found the girl a short time later in the 600-block of 48th Avenue. She was not wearing any shoes, socks or a coat.
