Police: Miami video not credible in missing teen

Wisconsin officials are reminding the public to not rely on information that doesn't come from their office in wanting to know more about a teenager who has been missing since her parents were found dead in their home.
Authorities have been searching for 13-year-old Jayme Closs since deputies responding to a 911 call early Monday found her parents , James and Denise Closs, dead in their home in Barron, a rural western Wisconsin community about 80 miles (130 kilometers) northeast of Minneapolis.
The call came from a cellphone inside the home, but the caller didn't communicate with the dispatcher, Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald said during a Tuesday news conference. He said gunshots had been fired at the home, but he declined to say whether the couple had been shot and said his office won't disclose how they died until after the autopsies are completed.
Fitzgerald said investigators don't consider Jayme a suspect in her parents' deaths, and he dismissed a tip placing Jayme's whereabouts in Miami as "not credible."
He declined to elaborate as to why investigators believe she didn't run away from home, saying that disclosing more information would compromise their investigation.
Jayme was last seen at a family gathering Sunday afternoon, Fitzgerald said.
