Police are asking for help in the search for a missing 6-year-old girl in East Bremerton.
Janice Paulette Wright was last seen by her family around 10 p.m. Saturday when she went to bed in her home.
Wright has left the house and wandered around the neighborhood before, but usually with friends or siblings. She usually checked in every few hours, her family told police.
About 80 searchers, a helicopter, and tracking canines joined the search on Monday.
The girl lives with her parents and two siblings at the Steele Creek Mobile Home Park, says Kitsap County Sheriff’s Deputy Scott Wilson.
Her family grew concerned when they hadn’t heard from Wright by 8:30 p.m. Sunday and began checking door-to-door in the mobile home park.
When she couldn’t be located, the family notified police.
Wright is described as Caucasian and Native American-Filipino. She is 3 feet tall, 45 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair.
Wilson says Washington Child Protective Services took an 8-year-old boy and 12-year-old girl from the home Monday while the search continues.
KING 5 reports the father has agreed to take a lie detector test.
Anyone with information about whereabouts of Wright is asked to call the Kitsap County Sheriff’s office or 911.
