GREENSBORO — Local authorities have issued an emergency missing-child alert after a mother and her three young children were reported missing from Hale County. The Hale County Sheriff’s Office and the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency say the family was last observed near Millwood Road in Greensboro on June 22.
"I’M JARVIS ROBERTSON, WVTM 13."
Who is missing
Investigators say the children are believed to be with their mother, identified as 31-year-old Cayla Louise Hummel. The children named in the alert are:
- Sirius Richardson, 6 years old
- Abram Richardson, 4 years old
- Luna Richardson, 20 months old
The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency has also issued a missing-and-endangered-person advisory for Hummel, noting she may have a condition that could affect her judgment. Officials believe the children are with their mother.
How the public can help
Authorities are asking anyone with information about the family's whereabouts to contact the Hale County Sheriff’s Office at 334-624-3081 or to call 911. Law enforcement has not released further details about vehicles, clothing or possible destinations.
Because this remains an active investigation, officials ask that members of the public do not attempt to approach the family if they are seen. Instead, call the sheriff’s office or 911 immediately to report the location and any identifying information.
