Update: The Montague County Sheriff’s Office reports Jorielle Strode has been found as of 2:30 p.m. Friday and is with the Decatur Police Department in Decatur.

Montague County Sheriff’s office is searching for a 14-year-old girl who was reported missing Thursday afternoon by her stepmother.
Jack Lawson, chief deputy of the sheriff’s office, said Kimberly Strode reported Jorielle Strode, 14, was missing about 3:30 p.m. on Thursday. He said the pair got into an argument with the teen packing a bag, but she left the bag behind when she left the house located at 270 Silver Lakes Drive.
The family, including Jorielle’s father who works out of town, have not lived in the area very long. The stepmother said she is homeschooled, so she does not have a lot of friends or family in the area.
Lawson said officers and volunteer firefighters from Sunset and Silver Lakes assisted in searching the area for the young woman. They also have been looking through her social media feeds to see who she may have been in contact with in that area.
She was last seen wearing a white tank top with a blue jean jacket. She has glasses and a black-yellow and blue yarn bracelet. She was last seen at 270 Silver Lakes Drive in the Sunset area.
If this teen is located call the sheriff’s office at 894-2871 or any local law enforcement agency.

Judges have been named for the two cases involving 97th District Attorney Casey Hall, including the indictment for theft and a petition for removal as DA.
On July 11, Judge David L. Evans, presiding judge for the Eighth Administration Region of Texas, assigned E. Lee Gabriel to handle the indictment case against Hall. The judge then named Bruce McFarling for the removal petition case.
The two-term DA Hall was indicted by the Montague County Grand Jury July 15 on a charge of theft of property $2,500 to $30,000, a state jail felony. The allegations stem from reported misappropriation of state grant funds.
