Campbell County, February 12th, 2026 - The Campbell County Police Department (CCPD) continues its intensive search for Sarah Miller, a local woman who was last seen on February 11th, 2026. The search, now entering its second day, has expanded to encompass a wider geographical area and now includes aerial support alongside ground teams and K-9 units. Authorities are appealing to the public for any information that could aid in locating Ms. Miller.

Sarah Miller, 32, was reported missing on Wednesday, February 11th, after she failed to return home from what family describes as a routine afternoon walk. According to initial reports, Ms. Miller left her residence near the Willow Creek Trail around 2:00 PM, telling family she would be back within a few hours. When she hadn't returned by 6:00 PM, her husband, David Miller, contacted the CCPD.

"We are treating this as a high-priority case," stated Police Chief Robert Davies at a press conference held earlier today. "While we currently have no evidence to suggest foul play, we are operating under the assumption that Ms. Miller may be in a vulnerable situation, and time is of the essence."

The initial search focused on the Willow Creek Trail and surrounding wooded areas. CCPD officers, alongside volunteer search and rescue teams, scoured the trails, utilizing K-9 units trained in scent tracking. Today, that search expanded to include areas further afield, leveraging the capabilities of the department's newly acquired aerial drone unit, equipped with thermal imaging technology. This allows searchers to cover a significantly larger area and detect potential heat signatures, even in dense foliage.

Ms. Miller is described as a Caucasian female, 5'6" tall, weighing approximately 130 pounds. She was last seen wearing a blue jacket, jeans, and grey walking shoes. Authorities have released a recent photograph of Ms. Miller to aid in public identification.

"We've been receiving numerous calls from concerned citizens, and we appreciate their vigilance," Chief Davies added. "However, we need specific information regarding Ms. Miller's whereabouts, or any sightings of her on February 11th. Even seemingly insignificant details could prove crucial."

The CCPD is also investigating Ms. Miller's background and routine. While interviews with family and friends have revealed no immediate concerns or reasons for her disappearance, detectives are thoroughly examining her personal and professional life. They are also reviewing local surveillance footage from businesses and residences near the Willow Creek Trail in hopes of identifying any clues.

The incident has understandably caused significant anxiety within the Campbell County community. Local residents have organized volunteer search groups and are actively assisting law enforcement. A Facebook group, "Finding Sarah Miller," has quickly gained traction, with members sharing information, coordinating search efforts, and offering support to the Miller family.

David Miller, speaking at the press conference, pleaded with the public for help. "Sarah is a loving wife, a dedicated teacher at Campbell County Elementary, and a wonderful friend. We just want her home safe. Any information, no matter how small, could make a difference."

The CCPD is urging anyone with information regarding Sarah Miller's disappearance to contact them immediately at 555-1212. They are also asking residents living near the Willow Creek Trail to check their properties, including sheds, garages, and wooded areas, for any sign of Ms. Miller. The CCPD assures the public they are utilizing all available resources to locate Ms. Miller and bring her home safely. The investigation remains active and ongoing.
