Search For Frederick County Teens Called Off

Frederick, MD (WJZ/AP) ― The search has resumed for two teenagers who went missing last night after telling their parents they were going
to rain-swollen Little Pipe Creek.

State police say a helicopter, search dogs and Frederick and Carroll County Fire and Rescue personnel Fire and Rescue were used to search last night for 14-year-old Michael White and 16-year-old Thomas Plunkard.

The father of one of the teenagers called 9-1-1 at 7:20 Tuesday night after they failed to return home.

Police tell WJZ's Kathryn Brown that this is now a recovery mission.

The search was called off at about 11:15 Tuesday night because of treacherous weather. Searchers resumed their work after daybreak.

"Sad, I hope they find them, hopefully alive...We're all just devastated, it's awful," one neighbor told Eyewitness News.

One bicycle and clothing were found near the creek, which runs from Frederick County to Taneytown in Carroll County.
