Chillicothe Police officers stand near one of the blocked entrances to Danner Park this (Thursday) morning while awaiting the arrival of bloodhounds from Western Missouri Correctional Center in Cameron, Mo. According to Police Chief Rick Knouse, Chillicothe Parks Department workers discovered ripped children’s clothing in one of the bathrooms just after 8:30 a.m. this morning. After the park was subsequently closed, law enforcement officials from the CPD, the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department, and the Missouri State Highway Patrol converged on the park to investigate. Knouse said the bloodhounds were going to be used to search the park for additional evidence or a person. Knouse said there was no blood on the clothes when they were found, but precautions were being taken to be on the safe side and officers were working with local schools to see which students were absent from school today. The park, Knouse said, will be closed while the investigation continues.
