Officers of the Bellefontaine Police Department are looking for a 17-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy who were reported missing by their family members Monday afternoon.
Officers were first contacted by family members of Emily Goodwin, 17, of 113 School St., about 4 p.m. She reportedly had not returned back to her workplace that day following a break.
