The Vermont State Police are investigating a suspicious incident in West Rutland yesterday afternoon that may involve a missing child.
Officers received a report that a young girl around the age of six approached a car and reported being injured and then ran into the woods.
The girl said her name was “Angel” or “Angela.” She was described as white, with brown straight hair, and was missing a left front tooth. She was wearing a red skirt, white t-shirt, flip flops and a mood ring.
