Missing Amish girls - The St. Lawrence County Sheriff's Office is conducting a desperate search for two Amish girls believed to be abducted from their family's roadside stand in northern New York Wednesday night.
Sisters Delila Miller, 7, and Fannie Miller, 12, are the two missing Amish girls reportedly crammed into a white vehicle while they went to wait on a customer in the rural town of Oswegatchie about 7:20 p.m. on Aug. 13, reports said.
According to a witness, a passenger in a vehicle described by Syracuse.com as a small white, four-door sedan put something into the backseat, and when the car drove off, the two Amish girls were gone.
In the latest update about the two missing Amish girls, the St. Lawrence County Sheriff's Office released on Thursday afternoon, a sketch of what one of the girls, Fannie, looks like, CBS News has learned.
The Amish community members are said to prohibit photos of themselves, which they deem as an act of pride and a violation of their religious beliefs.
The Democrat & Chronicle reported that both children have brown hair and brown eyes, were wearing dark blue dresses with blue aprons and black bonnets. Delila has a round scar on her forehead, and is said to be missing front teeth, while her older sibling is cross-eyed, officials said.
St. Lawrence County Sheriff Kevin Wells said that they have received "numerous leads" and that the state troopers, U.S. Border Patrol agents and forest rangers were participating in the search. Dive teams were also summoned to comb the nearby Oswegatchie River.
"There's no indication to take us any certain direction at this point," Wells told WWNY. "We're following all leads and we're making sure we overturn every stone that we're aware of and we're moving from there."
Authorities are urging those with information about the missing Amish girls to call the St, Lawrence Co. Sheriff's Office at (866) NYS-AMBER or 911.
