Deputies received a complaint from the family of a missing person from Whitehall. The family members questioned why deputies were not actively looking for their family member who was possibly in Hocking County. Deputies explained that we had not been notified, but contacted Whitehall police. Whitehall police misinterpreted cell phone data and originally thought that the missing person was in Hocking County. The data was incorrect and the person was located in Franklin County.
