MADISONVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- The family of a western Kentucky teenager is hopeful she'll be found safely after being missing for a week.
Kentucky State Police are searching for 19-year-old Jodi Powers of Earlington after her family reported her missing on Aug. 30.
Amy Powers told the Madisonville Messenger that it's out of character for her sister to stay away from family.
The missing person case was turned over to Kentucky State Police on Friday. State Police Detective Dan Morck said police Saturday in various places in Hopkins County, but declined to name specific locations.
Jodi Powers is a white female, 5 feet 1 inch tall and weighs 110 pounds. She has a tattoo of a lizard behind her left ear and a piercing in the center of her chest.
