Urgent Amber Alert Issued: 11-Year-Old Lily Mae Thompson Missing in CT, Believed with Father

A chilling sense of urgency has gripped Connecticut as an Amber Alert was activated early Friday morning for 11-year-old Lily Mae Thompson. Authorities believe Lily, last seen in Hartford, is in extreme danger and is with her non-custodial father, Robert Thompson. The statewide alert implores the public to remain vigilant and report any sightings immediately to law enforcement.

Lily Mae Thompson is described as a Caucasian female, approximately 4 feet 8 inches tall, weighing about 80 pounds, with long, blonde hair and blue eyes.

She was last seen wearing a pink hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers. Her bright, inquisitive nature is a stark contrast to the grave circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

Her father, 42-year-old Robert Thompson, is described as a Caucasian male, approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 190 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

He is believed to be operating a distinctive blue 2018 Honda Civic with Connecticut license plate number AB12345. Police caution that Robert Thompson may be experiencing emotional distress and should not be approached directly by the public.

The alarm was raised late Thursday evening when Lily failed to return home from school, and subsequent investigations pointed to her father, who did not have legal custody.

Investigators quickly gathered enough information to justify the activation of the Amber Alert, indicating that Lily’s safety is considered to be at significant risk. The family and community are holding their breath, hoping for her swift and safe return.

Law enforcement officials are urging anyone who sees Lily Mae Thompson, Robert Thompson, or the blue Honda Civic to contact 911 immediately.

Do not attempt to intervene or approach the vehicle or individuals. Please provide as much detail as possible, including location, direction of travel, and any distinguishing features. Every second counts in cases like this, and public cooperation is absolutely vital.

The Connecticut State Police, along with local authorities, are working tirelessly around the clock, following every lead to bring Lily home.

The emotional toll on Lily’s family is immeasurable, and their desperate plea for assistance echoes across the state. Let's stand together as a community to ensure Lily Mae Thompson is returned to safety.
