Barger is from Georgetown, Indiana, which is 5 miles northwest of Louisville, Kentucky, and 120 miles south of Indianapolis. She was last seen on Monday at 1 a.m. Authorities said "she is believed to be in extreme danger" but the alert did not go into greater detail as to why or what that danger is. Police have asked the public for their help in finding Barger and said that anyone with information should contact the Floyd County Sheriff's Department at 812-948-5400 or 911. On Tuesday, Barger's father, Shawn Barger, took to social media to ask for help locating his daughter. He said that she might be in a "older [possibly] Chevy truck with a loud exhaust and rusty body." https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/missing-indiana-teenager-emily-barger-in-extreme-danger/ar-AA18myAt?cvid=338e81d5d26f49b297eae7f961151d7a&ocid=winp2fptaskbarhover&ei=4
