RAPID CITY, S.D. – Rapid City authorities say a social media photo that resembled a girl missing from western South Dakota for more than a year was not her.
The Facebook post featuring an older man with a young girl who looked similar to Serenity Dennard drew attention. It was taken in the Las Vegas area.
Authorities in Nevada followed up on the post and determined there was no crime committed and the girl was not Serenity.
The person who posted the original photos on Facebook had stated the man and the girl appeared to be “making out” in a store. But Las Vegas police say in a statement that there was misinformation.
Serenity has been missing since running away from the BH Children’s Home in February of last year.
The Pennington County Sheriff’s Office say their investigation in Serenity’s disappearance continues. They have followed over 230 leads in 36 states since she ran away.
