Update, 3:45 p.m.: Clarksville Police, along with multiple assisting agencies, are diligently searching the area for the missing child. “We currently have a significant number of first responders on scene, and we are concerned that additional people entering the area may unintentionally interfere with ongoing search efforts,” Beaubien said.

Anyone who does not live in the affected neighborhood is asked to avoid the area and allow emergency personnel to conduct search operations as efficiently and safely as possible.”
