MARSHALL, Mich. — FOX 17 has learned the Michigan State Police and FBI are now involved in the search for a missing Marshall teen.

Hannah Marie Amaro, 14, went missing Saturday. Police say she has not had any contact with friends or family.

Her family believes she might have gotten into a truck with a man named Vic. Family members say he is from Georgia and the pair met on a dating site.

FOX 17 photographer Chris Sage learned from the director of public safety, Jim Swartz, that the Major Investigative Unit is now involved in Amaro’s search.
