3-year-old found after hours of searching in Clarksville

A three-year-old that was reported missing has been found safe and now an investigation into the circumstances of that situation is underway.

The Clarksville Police Department reports that a massive search effort began Tuesday afternoon when three-year-old Tyler Hall was reported missing from his home on Aurelia Lynn Drive around 11:30 a.m. Clarksville police officers, fire fighters, emergency management and numerous other agencies, along with community member volunteers, extensively searched the area for hours.

Those efforts would come to an end when the child was found in the home around 8 p.m. He was reportedly found heavily concealed in the attic of the residence—he was transported to Vanderbilt Clarksville for further evaluation after being seen to by Montgomery County EMS at the scene.

This remains an ongoing investigation, with no additional information immediately available.

The Clarksville Police Department would like to thank all assisting agencies, first responders, and members of the community for their support and concern during this incident.
