Tennessee authorities issued an Amber Alert Monday, June 2, for a 3-year-old child reported missing out of Clarksville, with an extensive search underway as of that evening.
Clarksville is a city of roughly 180,000 in Montgomery County, about 50 miles northwest of Nashville — and an Amber Alert at that scale means law enforcement has determined the child faces imminent danger. The alert would have pushed notifications to cell phones across a wide portion of the state.
The search
Details on the child’s name, physical description, and any suspected abductor weren’t available in the initial report. No vehicle description or direction of travel had been publicly released as of the alert’s issuance Monday night.
Amber Alerts in Tennessee are coordinated through the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, which typically broadcasts suspect and vehicle information across highway signs and wireless emergency alerts when those details are confirmed. Whether TBI had released a full alert bulletin — including a suspect description — wasn’t immediately clear.
Anyone with information is generally directed to call 911 or the TBI tip line at 1-800-TBI-FIND. The investigation was ongoing as of June 2.
