An East and Middle Tennessee Endangered Child Alert has been issued for Alexis Sullivan. Police write:

Sullivan is in the company of Brittany Mostella and Shelby Nunley. All three children are missing from the Johnson Group Home in Maryville, Tennessee. Mostella and Nunley have allegedly made threats toward harming Sullivan once they had ran from the group home. The girls may be armed with a pair of scissors that are missing from the home. The girls were last seen at approximately 11 p.m. eastern time on June 27, 2011, at a gas station in Rockwood, Tennessee in Cumberland County.

The truck also has a yellow sticker on the right side of the rear window that states "Look Out for Motorcycles".
