Reward offered for information leading to missing Tennessee girl

Authorities in Tennessee said Saturday that a reward for information leading to the safe recovery over a missing 9-year-old girl has been set at $12,500.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said law enforcement officials continued searching for Carlie Marie Trent of Rogersville in the eastern part of the state. The bureau said it’s working through more than 100 tips it has received since an Amber Alert was issued Thursday.

Authorities say Carlie was signed out of school under false pretenses Wednesday by her non-custodial uncle, 57-year-old Gary Simpson. The bureau said they may be in an "isolated area" such as a campground or state park.

Simpson was last seen driving a white 2002 Dodge Conversion Van, according to The Tennessean. The van has a dark stripe down the middle.
