Authorities said an investigation by the Wayne County Sheriff's Office into a possible scam brought a deputy to Albany to verify a transaction at a local business. The Albany Police Department and Clinton County Sheriff's Office provided assistance, which led to a possible location for Velasquez.
Officials said all law enforcement personnel at the scene started following up with potential locations, adding that an officer from the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife even helped in the search.
