Authorities Are Looking For The Footage From When Scottie Morris Went Missing

Scottie Morris, 14, has been gone for about a week, and police in Eaton, Indiana suspect he ran away. However, authorities in Eaton, Indiana are looking for surveillance footage from the week that Scottie Morris was reported missing, as reported by Fox News.

Eaton is located 76 miles northeast of Indianapolis, and WRTV reported that locals there were tying green ribbons to streetlamps and power polls in Morris’ honor.

Alivia Hirst, a teenage girl who went by to help tie ribbons, told the outlet that the situation was “sort of sad” and that she hoped he would be found safe. She said, “Scottie, come home. Your parents miss you. They want you home, safe.”

“We’ve experienced some tragedies, but nothing like a missing child,” Meghan Deckman said as she tied ribbons for the missing teen.  “To think about what that family is going through, a piece of you is missing when everyone is not under your roof.”
