The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) has issued an Amber Alert for a missing 8-year-old girl from Burien, Washington. The Amber Alert was triggered after the girl was last seen in Burien, Washington on Burien Ave in the early hours of December 13.

The missing girl, identified as Lily Smith, was reportedly abducted from her home in Burien, Washington. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain unclear, and law enforcement agencies have not yet released detailed information about the suspected abductor or a possible motive.

Local law enforcement, including the Burien, Washington Police Department and the FBI, are actively investigating the case. They are urging the public to remain vigilant and report any information that could help in the search for Lily. The community has responded with an outpouring of support, with volunteers organizing search parties and online campaigns to raise awareness about the Amber Alert.
