Episode 422: Where Is Elle Ragin?

Elle Ragin is a six-year-old girl from Northfield, Minnesota, who went missing on June 19, 2022 under heartbreaking circumstances. Her disappearance is closely tied to the tragic death of her mother, Lisa Wade, who died by suicide just days later on July 2. Surveillance footage showed Lisa at various locations between June 23 and July 2, but Elle was never seen with her, which was considered highly concerning given their close relationship.

If you have any information about Elle’s whereabouts you are urged to contact the Northfield Police Department 507-645-4477. You can also reach out to The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension who has been assisting in the case at 651-793-7000.

If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or you can text "STRENGTH" to the Crisis Text Line at 741-741 or go to suicidepreventionlifeline.org.
