Northfield Police are still searching for a missing 6-year-old girl after her mother was found dead Saturday.
Northfield Police are asking for the public's help as they continue to look for Elle Ragin, whose mother Lisa Wade, 39, died by suicide Saturday. Police say Wade may have been involved in the disappearance of her daughter before she died.
On Sunday, authorities used drones, a helicopter and police dogs to look for any sign of the girl. The FBI and the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) are assisting with the investigation and said Elle is about 3-foot-6 with brown hair and brown eyes. She is a student at Prairie Creek Community School, according to the school district.
Anyone who has seen either the mother or child in the past two weeks is asked to call Northfield police at 507-645-4477, or 911.
