Authorities issue Amber Alert Tennessee for Lilly Hill, 1

An Amber Alert Tennessee was issued Wednesday afternoon for 1-year-old Lilly Hill, who was last seen Wednesday in Winchester. Authorities are searching for the Franklin County girl and asking the public to watch for a blue 2017 Kia Sportage with Tennessee license plate 384BQVJ.

Lilly weighs approximately 30 pounds and has black hair and brown eyes. Anyone who sees her or the vehicle, or has information about her whereabouts, should call the Franklin County Sheriff's Office at 931-967-2331 or the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND.

Investigators believe Lilly may be with her non-custodial mother, Kasey Hill. Kasey Hill is wanted on Franklin County warrants charging aggravated kidnapping, child endangerment and felony evading, which gives the search a second target beyond the child’s location.

Winchester search details

The alert centers on a child last seen in Winchester on Wednesday, then named in an alert issued Wednesday afternoon. That sequence gives the public a short window to match the child and vehicle description against anything they may have seen that day in Tennessee.

The vehicle description is specific enough to matter in a fast search. A blue 2017 Kia Sportage with Tennessee plate 384BQVJ is the only car authorities identified for the public, so even a partial sighting can be useful if it reaches the Franklin County Sheriff's Office or the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation quickly.

Kasey Hill warrants

The case also turns on Kasey Hill’s status. Investigators say Lilly may be with her non-custodial mother, and the warrants tied to Kasey Hill include aggravated kidnapping, child endangerment and felony evading. That means the alert is not only about a missing child, but about locating a person wanted in Franklin County.

For anyone in Tennessee, the practical step is simple: check the child description, the vehicle, and the plate number against what you may have seen Wednesday in Winchester or elsewhere in Franklin County. If any piece matches, call the Franklin County Sheriff's Office at 931-967-2331 or the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND immediately.

Franklin County report

The alert does not explain how Lilly went missing, only that she was last seen Wednesday and was publicly reported in an active search by authorities. For now, the safest response is to treat every sighting of Lilly or the blue Kia Sportage as time-sensitive and report it without delay.
