The Austin community is on high alert as the search continues for Daela Diaz, a 13-year-old girl reported missing since December 8th. Diaz, as described by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, stands 5-foot-2 and weighs 194 pounds, with dyed blonde hair and brown eyes. The center, alongside local Austin Police, is operating under the belief that she might still be in the vicinity of the Austin area.
Local authorities and the NCMEC are calling on the public for any leads. Concerned citizens are being asked to come forward with any information regarding Daela's disappearance, which has now troubled the Austin community for nearly a month. She was last seen on the eighth of December, a date drawing ever more distant on the city's collective calendar. The report from CBS Austin details her physical attributes and reiterates the belief that she remains somewhere in Austin.
The urgency to locate Daela is palpable, with both the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and the Austin Police Department intensifying their appeals to the public.
