Ada's latest news

Elizabeth Saracson 14-years-old, who had spent the evening with her sister in Ada, and had left her home during the night hours, was found in Indianapolis, Ind., according to Michael Harnishfeger, Ada police chief.

On Monday, the Ada Police Department in concert with the Forest Police Department and the F.B.I. tracked Elizabeth down to a house in Indianapolis, Ind., where F.B.I. agents successfully located her and recover her from the home.

As initially believed, Elizabeth did leave Ada and arrive in Indianapolis on her own accord, according to Harnishfeger.

The investigation continues as to exactly how Elizabeth was transported to Indianapolis.

Passing by the McIntosh ballroom on last week, passers-by heard a beautiful voice rehearsing songs.

The singer was none other than 11-year-old Reagan Cox, preparing for the Liberty National Bank annual shareholders meeting to be held there that evening.

Reagan was invited to audition for "Americas Got Talent" last November in Detroit.

She is the daughter of Heather and Craig Cox of Miller City. Her mom is an assistant vice president at the bank and her dad manages a grocery store in Lima.

During the week of Monday, May 2, through Saturday, May 7, Liberty National Bank will have locked containers at the bankd for individuals to drop off unwanted paperwork to be destroyed.

This is a free service to the community to help fight the growing concern of Identity Theft.

Accoridng to the bank, it is estimated that as many as 9 million U.S. residents have their identities stolen every year.

The containers will be available during office hours, Monday through Saturday. Please limit the shred to 5 boxes, no larger than 20-inches wide by 10-inches high.
