(LOUISA – WINA)   A second news conference that focuses on the continued investigation of missing teenager Isabel Hicks will be held Monday.   The 3 p.m. event will be in a public meeting room on the second floor of the Louisa County Sheriff’s Office/County Building.

That structure is at 1 Woolfolk Ave in Louisa.  The Louisa Sheriff’s Office will provide some updated information and  attempt to clarify some misinformation.   Late last week,  the Sheriff’s Office revealed a warrant that charges 33-year-old Bruce Lynch of Bumpass with felony abduction has been obtained.   That follows a late Friday amber alert from the State Police that lists Isabel Hicks of Bumpass as a missing endangered juvenile female.

The Richmond office of the FBI and the State Police are assisting the Louisa Sheriff’s Office.   Investigators say Lynch could be driving a light blue, almost silver looking, 2003 Toyota Matrix with Virginia tag VEM-9071.   They be staying in wooded areas conducive to camping.

Lynch should be considered armed and potentially dangerous. Contact law enforcement immediately – do not approach – if either Lynch or Isabel are spotted.

A Missing Person poster has been created and posted to the FBI’s website.

Call the Richmond Division of the FBI at 804-261-1044 with information that may lead to the location and safe return of Isabel Hicks.
