The Barron County Justice Center staff dedicated their annual Christmas tree to missing 13-year-old Jayme Closs.

The tree is decorated with green and blue ribbons and ornaments to symbolize the universal colors of awareness and support. 

Instead of a star, the Justice Center topped the tree with a green and blue ribbon with the words 'Prayers For Jayme' printed on it.

"I hope there's a tip out there," said Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald. "We run on hope right now and that's what this tree symbolizes."

Jayme's family members say they hope to have her home for the holidays.

She has been missing since Oct. 15.
