A family in Virginia is offering a hefty reward in the search for their missing teen. Virginia State Police issued a CODI alert for 17-year-old Mitchell Leahey last week in Hanover County. His family says he ran away from home after a therapy session by hopping a fence. Mitchell's parents say he left with just the clothes on his back and no belongings or phone. And they're growing concerned as temperatures continue to dip and they still have no information on Mitchell's whereabouts. They're offering a 100-thousand-dollar reward for Mitchell's safe return.
