LAKE COUNTY, Fla. — Investigators with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement have asked for the public’s help in finding a 12-year-old Mount Dora girl.
Joscelyn Delong was last seen Monday, investigators said. Details of her disappearance were not made immediately available.
Investigators said she was last seen wearing dark jeans and a green long sleeve shirt, and could be with a white woman in a teal van. Investigators did not release a license plate number.
Lisa McDonald with the Mount Dora Police Department said a woman picked up Delong around 9:05 a.m. from Mount Dora Middle School. The woman was not authorized to take her out of the school, police said.
Sherri Owens with Lake County Public Schools said a non-custodial parent picked up the child. A teacher noticed something was wrong and tried to alert a school resource officer, but the student had left by the time the school resource officer arrived.
