A 10-year-old Wisconsin girl is missing and police say they believe she may be traveling with her father, who drives a white Dodge Ram truck with Illinois license plates. An Amber Alert was issued Monday night for Jocelyn Van Duyn, who was last seen at her home in Walworth, Wisconsin, around 8 p.m. Saturday.

Police describe Jocelyn as 5-foot-3 and 140 pounds with hazel eyes and brown, shoulder-length hair. She was last seen wearing a white shirt with an image of the Eiffel Tower on it, black pants and dark-colored tennis shoes. Police said she did not pack a bag or take a jacket with her.

Deputies said Jocelyn is originally from Wonder Lake, Illinois, and goes to school there, according to WISN.com. Police also said she took her cat and $30, the outlet reported.

On Monday night, an Amber Alert was issued stating that police believe Jocelyn may be traveling with her biological father, 33-year-old Jonathan Van Duyn, in a white four-door Dodge Ram truck with the Illinois license plate 167007F. The truck has no topper and may be pulling a white camper with the Wisconsin license plate 26902RV and stickers reading "beware the bald guy" and an image of a table saw. The stickers may have been removed, according to the alert.

Police said Jonathan Van Duyn also goes by the nicknames "Kyle" and "Wolfy" and is 6 feet tall and 220 pounds with very short brown hair and blue eyes.

Police did not list an address for Van Duyn, but public records list past addresses in McHenry County, Illinois. A LinkedIn page for Jonathan Van Duyn lists him as the CEO of a company in Crystal Lake and an employee at a printing company, also in Crystal Lake.

Walworth police said the Wisconsin Department of Justice, FBI and Walworth County Sheriff's Department are assisting with the investigation.

Anyone with information on Jocelyn Van Duyn, Jonathan Van Duyn or the vehicle is asked to call the Wisconsin Department of Justice at 1-800-674-9228 or the Walworth Police Department at 262-275-6585.
