Recognizing Her

The closer she got, the more Earl realized that he knew exactly who it was that was running through the field. Earl shares, “I could make out her face, and I went, ‘Oh my gosh, this is the gal from Alexandria that’s been gone for 29 days. It’d been on the news, it’d been online. It went national. It was on posters, in stores, her face, her picture. Right away I recognized her.” The girl happened to be the missing teen, Jasmine Block, and she was 40-miles from home in Grant County.

Calling 911

As soon as she approached the vehicle, he instantly allowed her into his truck and called 911. And he helped keep her safe until the police arrived to take her to the hospital to get checked and treated for injuries. While the authorities were happy to tell her mom that they had found her, the rest of their news was going to be quite painful to process.
