Amber Alert Activated as Search Intensifies for Missing 12-Year-Old in Minneapolis Park

A command center has been established to coordinate K9 teams, drones and volunteers in locating Victoria Jackson before her insulin supply is depleted.

Victoria Alexandria Jackson was last seen Saturday night near Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis.

Overview
