One week has passed since 16-year-old Janteah Small walked out of her home and vanished without a trace, and local law enforcement is now turning to the wider community for help to track down the missing teenager. Since Janteah’s disappearance, there has been no contact, no sightings, and no confirmed information about her whereabouts, which has left her family in a state of growing anxiety. Her relatives have issued a heartfelt public plea, urging the teenager to reach out in any way possible if she is able, and to return home where she is waited for safely. In addition to the family’s appeal, law enforcement has also addressed a direct message to Janteah herself: officials have asked her to contact either her loved ones or local police if she is in a position to do so, to confirm her safety and end the uncertainty that has stretched on for seven days. No extra details have been made public about the circumstances of her disappearance: authorities have not released information about where Janteah was last spotted, or what clothing she was wearing when she left her home, leaving investigators relying on tips from community members to move the case forward. Members of the public who hold any information, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, that could help law enforcement locate Janteah are being directed to three channels to submit their tips. They can visit their closest local police department to share information in person, call the Criminal Investigations Department directly at the hotline number 462-3913/14, or submit an anonymous tip through the Crimestoppers hotline at 800-TIPS (8477). Officials note that all tips will be investigated promptly, and anonymous submissions remain fully confidential to protect anyone who wishes to share information without revealing their identity.
