Indiana police looking for missing teen who may be in 'extreme danger'

Indiana police are looking for a teenager who went missing two days ago and is believed to be in "extreme danger."

Scottie Morris, 14, was last seen on Thursday around 8:30 p.m., according to police in his hometown of Eaton, located about 75 miles northeast of Indianapolis. He was reported missing that night, local police said.

Indiana State Police declared a silver alert -- a statewide alert used in cases of missing children and missing endangered adults -- Friday night in the disappearance of the teen.

"He is believed to be in extreme danger and may require medical assistance," state police said.

After local police called off the search for the night on Friday amid frigid temperatures, a search party reconvened Saturday morning to continue looking for Morris.

Hundreds of people -- including crews from area police and fire departments, leaders from the teen's school district and classmates -- turned out to help find the teen, ABC Indianapolis affiliate WRTV reported.
