The McKinney Police Department is looking for 9-year-old Jessica Burns and 6-year-old Jennifer Burns. Authorities believe they are in grave or immediate danger.

The girls were last seen just before 6 p.m. Thursday at a restaurant near Central Expressway and Virginia Parkway, police said. Authorities said the sisters were at a supervised visit with their father, along with CPS, who had temporary custody of them.

Police are searching for the girls' grandmother, 60-year-old Jame Burns, in connection to their disappearance.

Police describe Jessica as a white girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. She's 4'10", 90 pounds, and was last seen wearing dark-framed glasses, a red long-sleeve shirt with black shoulders/sleeves and blue jeans.

Jennifer is also described as a white girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. Police say she's 4'0", 60 pounds, and was last seen wearing purple-framed glasses, a light blue shirt with a sparkle design on the front and blue jeans.

McKinney is about 30 miles north of Dallas, Texas.

Police are expected to provide an update on the search for the sisters sometime Friday morning.
