BRADENTON -- A missing child alert was issued Wednesday for a 10-year-old Bradenton girl, authorities said.

The alert was issued for Emma Mischaud, who officials said may be with her mother, Suzanne Knight.

Since the alert was issued, officials learned they are in Georgia, but Bradenton police Lt. James Racky said they had not been located.

Police believe they may be heading to Knight's home state of Connecticut.

The girl was last seen late Tuesday near the Palm Cove Apartments, 4550 47th St. W.,

Bradenton.

Racky said the alert was issued because Knight left the apartment angry after a disagreement with other family members.

Officials said Knight left the apartments with Mischaud in haste, almost hitting another family member with her car as she drove off.

Emma stands 4-foot-10 and weighs 60 pounds. She has brown hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a blue sundress and blue reading glasses.

Knight stands 5-6 and weighs 130 pounds. She has blonde hair and blue eyes, and was believed to be wearing a blue T-shirt and gray sweat pants.

They may be traveling in a 2016 red Toyota RAV4 with Connecticut tag number AD23238.

Anyone with information on their whereabouts can call the Bradenton Police Department at 941-932-9301 or 911.
