"The child's mother, Megan 'Maggie' Boswell, has been involved in the investigation along with the father, Ethan Perry, who is active duty in the military, stationed in Louisiana," the office said in an emailed statement to Insider.
The young mom was vilified on Facebook by users demanding to know where her daughter is. She hasn't posted on the platform since September, when she uploaded several pictures of Evelyn and shared posts about missing children.
On September 6, Boswell posted about challenges in her life and Evelyn's "unconditional love."
"I'm not the best mom in the world, but I try so hard for this little beauty," she wrote, adding: "You can say whatever you want about me being a young mom, but I promise you my life is so much better with this angel. My life wasnt ruined when I had her, she gave me a purpose and a reason to wake up everyday and to better myself. Theres no love like the love from your child!"
Perry wrote in a Facebook post on Wednesday: "I'm currently working with authorities trying to find Evelyn. I can't say much more than that at the moment. If anybody knows anything please message me."
Capt. Andy Seabolt, a spokesman for the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office, told Insider that a family member who is not one of Evelyn's parents reported her as missing. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has issued an
Amber Alert for the child.
