Girl Disappears from Pennhurst Asylum

Spring City, January 21, 1999 — Authorities are searching for a girl who is missing from the Pennhurst Mental Asylum, raising concerns among her family and the community. Known only as “Devon”, the girl was last seen on Wednesday when hospital staff were preparing to return her to her parents in Georgia.

This story is still developing and comment from authorities is still forthcoming, but concerns about a possible public safety incident have been circulating the station. Residents of the surrounding area should exercise caution until “Devon” has been apprehended as details about the girl’s condition remain undisclosed.

The disappearance comes on the heels of Pennhurst’s recent legal troubles. The hospital was recently ordered to close when it came to light that patients were suffering abuse.

Again, this story is still developing, and the public is encouraged to tune in to the Spring City Police’s news conference later today. Anyone who believes they have seen “Devon” is advised to avoid confrontation and immediately contact authorities. Please also route all questions to the non-emergency number 555-3285.
