Authorities initially treated the case as a missing person investigation. However, discrepancies in the father's account led to a shift in the focus of the investigation. State police have confirmed there is no evidence of abduction and no threat to the public.

The girl was last seen around 9:40 p.m. Saturday traveling south on I-87 near Exit 22 in a white van. She was described as 5 feet tall, 100 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, and was wearing a blue and white striped shirt, shorts, and white Adidas sneakers.

Lake George is located in the Adirondack Region along I-87.

Further details about the investigation are pending.
