Police Say Sex Offender May Have Lured Away Teen

The Rocky Mount North Carolina Police Department has activated an AMBER Alert after a teenager was reported missing on Friday morning, August 26, 2005. Authorities say 12-year-old Jodie Collie was discovered missing from her home Friday at about 6:50 a.m. Police suspect that she was abducted by a registered sex offender. Police say Jodie left a note, and worry that the girl may have gone willingly without realizing the danger she was in. Authorities say Jodie may be in \"extreme danger\" and are seeking the public's help. Police think she was lured away by 27-year-old sex offender Phillip Daniel Denkler, who served a prison sentence for taking indecent liberties with a child. The two apparently had talked by telephone for months. The girl's mother says she knew of Denkler, but no one in the family was aware of his criminal record or that he had been in touch with Jodie.  

Denkler Charged With Kidnapping

Jodie is approximately 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs about 114 pounds. Authorities say the girl has blond hair and green eyes. Police describe Denkler as a white male with straight, short, black hair and brown eyes. A felony kidnapping warrant was issued for Denkler on Aug. 26. The two were last seen in a beige 2005 Hyundai Sonata with North Carolina license plate number NWN-2630.
