Lost & found missing persons in North Mississippi

Missing person: teen girl in red hoodie

I lost my sister Maya Chen yesterday around 3pm near Barnes Crossing Mall off West Main Street in Tupelo, North Mississippi. She’s 16, about 5'5", with long black hair usually in a messy ponytail. She was wearing a bright red puffer jacket over a grey hoodie, dark jeans, and white sneakers with a pink stripe. She carries a blue backpack with a cartoon octopus patch and has a small silver star tattoo behind her left ear. There’s also a simple silver necklace from our grandmother she wears most days, which adds sentimental value to her. I’m really worried and just want her back safe. If you’ve seen her, email me at [email protected] to share any information.
