The Detroit Police Department is urging the local community to keep an eye out for a teenage girl who went missing in January. Na'Ziyah Harris, a 13-year-old student at J.E. Clark Preparatory Academy, has not been seen since she left school on January 9th. Her family became worried when she didn't return home after getting off the school bus, and they reported her missing to the authorities. The search for her whereabouts initially involved federal investigators who spoke to her friends and neighbors, but it wasn't until February 13th that the investigation was handed over to the DPD. This delay has raised concern among community members.
At a news conference the next day, Chief James White expressed his concern for Harris and asked for the community's help in finding her. "We're very, very concerned," he shared. "We will be bringing in our local, federal, and state partners, as well as our board of police commissioners, civic leaders, and a very concerned community to assist us in bringing little Na'Ziyah home."
Harris' family, including her grandmother Annette Harris, also made a plea for the community's support. "When a child is missing, you have to look everywhere," said Annette Harris. "I don't want to think the worst, that she was abducted. I'm holding onto my faith and trusting that God will bring my baby home."
Despite efforts from law enforcement and the community, there have been no new leads or sightings of Harris. She was last seen wearing a white, pink, and black jacket, blue jeans, and white Nike sneakers. However, authorities are not ruling anything out in regards to her disappearance. Chief White emphasized the importance of a joint effort in bringing her home safely, saying, "We're hopeful that we find her well, but we can't operate on hope."
In other news, detectives have made progress in the case of missing 25-year-old Marissa Carmichael thanks to surveillance footage. The footage led them to a witness who may have information on her whereabouts. The investigation is ongoing.
