Missing with Autism: Mikaela Lynch (Lake Co CA, Bay Area San Francisco)















Missing 9-year-old autistic girl in Lake County spotted on surveillance camera | abc7news.com

There is a new lead in the case of a missing San Francisco child who disappeared from her family's vacation home in Lake County on Sunday. Mikaela Lynch, 9, has a severe form of autism so severe she neither speaks nor responds.

Clearlake and rescue crews had hoped to get some good news and a happy ending by the end of Tuesday, but that has not happened yet. Instead, they found some new hope in the form of a photograph that came from a home video surveillance camera.
