A Wisconsin girl is reported missing and threatened after the murder of her parents. Was she seen in Miami?

Less than 24 hours after the discovery of the murder of a husband in their Wisconsin home, South Florida police were informed that the couple's missing daughter, Jayme Closs, aged 13, could have been sighted more than 1500 km from a gas station in Miami. .

Police in Miami and Wisconsin were investigating whether the tip was credible.

"Of course, we interview people, we shoot [surveillance] video, but we have not yet made a decision on the validity of this board, "Miami police chief Jorge Colina told WIOD-610 radio on Tuesday.

Closs is not considered a suspect in the murders of his parents, said Chris Fitzgerald, Sheriff of Barron County, Wisconsin.

"I'm telling you, Jayme is missing and endangered," Fitzgerald said.

After the bodies of James and Denise Closs were found at home in Barron, about 80 km northeast of Minneapolis, on Monday, officials said they received an indication that Closs's missing daughter, Jayme Closs, would have "been seen" at Sunflex. gas station in block 1100 of Northwest 27th Avenue in Miami on Monday afternoon.

The girl was apparently inside a dark Ford Explorer SUV with two bearded men. The explorer had a Wisconsin license plate indicating I6OWER, the police said.

On Tuesday afternoon, Fitzgerald said the Wisconsin investigators were "actively looking for the tip," but said he did not think the tip was credible or not.

"If we think it is essential in the event that we need the help of the public, we will disseminate this information," he said.

A 911 call to the Closs family home on Monday led to the discovery of the bodies of Jayme's parents, James Closs, 56, and Denise Closs, 46.

We do not know how long the couple died before being discovered.

Their teenage daughter was not found.

The call came from a cell phone inside the house, but the caller did not contact the dispatcher, Fitzgerald said. He said that shots had been fired at the house, but he did not say whether the couple had been hit and his office would not reveal how they died until after the autopsies.

The last time anyone saw the girl in public, it was Sunday afternoon at a family reunion she attended, Fitzgerald said.

His grandfather, Robert Naiberg, told the Associated Press on Tuesday that nothing seemed to have happened at the rally, which was to celebrate the birthday of a cousin's grandson. with Jayme.

"She was silent as always. She was a quiet girl, he said.

Naiberg, 72, said her daughter, Denise Closs, and Jayme were at the party and her son-in-law, James Closs, was working and could not go. He described his daughter as a "thoughtful person" who brought "a little gift for everyone" to the party.

Several photos of Jayme Closs have been posted on the Barron County Sheriff's Office Facebook page.

With the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the FBI is also involved in research.

An Amber alert was issued without a description of the suspect or vehicle. MPs also searched the vicinity of the family home with drones and infrared equipment and talked to Jayme's friends and classmates.

The investigators also checked Jayme Closs' phone and social records.

Fitzgerald urged the public to offer advice.

He pointed out that suspects usually change their daily habits and that, if their family and colleagues noticed, this could generate additional leads.

"Often a community member will know about a crime and may not be aware of it," he said. "People who commit violence can display changes in their behavior and people around that person can observe these changes."
