Alvord, Iowa — A child in the Alvord area is safe after some tense moments on Sunday evening, September 4th.
The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office reports that about 6:50 PM they received a 911 call from an address about two and a half miles southwest of Alvord. They say a 6-year-old child had been missing in a cornfield for about 30 minutes.
