The Barron County Sheriff's Office fears 13-year-old Jayme Closs is missing, and perhaps in danger.

MIAMI -- A Wisconsin girl, who vanished after her parents were found dead Monday in their home, may have been spotted in Florida.

Police say someone matching Jayme Closs' description was seen between 2 and 3 p.m. Monday at a gas station near the intersection of N.W. 27 Avenue and 11 Street in Miami.

The person who submitted the tip says he saw a black Ford Explorer with a possible Wisconsin license plate of I60WER. Police say he told them two well-dressed, Middle Eastern men were inside the SUV. Officers say the tipster said the men were in their 30s, roughly 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-9 and 200 to 250 pounds. They both reportedly had beards. The person who called authorities said a young girl -- who might be Closs -- was inside the SUV.

The 13-year-old is believed to be in serious danger.

Deputies in Barron County, Wisconsin, say they were dispatched around 1 a.m. Monday when someone called 911 asking for help. When they arrived, they found Closs' parents dead with gunshot wounds. It's not yet clear who called 911.

Jayme is not considered a suspect, police say.

An Amber Alert has been issued for Jayme, who is described as 5-feet tall and 100 pounds. She has green eyes and blonde or strawberry blonde hair.

If you see Jayme or have any information about where she might be, call the Barron County Sheriff's Department at 715-537-3106.
