The Austin Police Department is turning to the public in a determined effort to track down a 16-year-old girl, high-functioning on the autism spectrum, who disappeared last month. Hannah Smith was reported missing in Wichita, Kansas on January 14 but may now be in the Austin area, according to the Austin Police Department.
Authorities believe Hannah could be traveling with an unidentified adult male, driving a vehicle described as a Blue 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, notably with expired tags bearing the Texas license plate MKV4875. Anyone with a tip or information regarding Hannah is encouraged to contact the police immediately, either through 911 or directly to the APD's Human Trafficking unit at 512-974-4786.
Details about Hannah have been widely disseminated in the hopes of sparking recognition among the community. She stands at 5'07", weighs approximately 140 lbs, and features blonde hair paired with blue eyes. When last seen wearing, her outfit included a blue jacket, black leggings, and a black hat, adding to the visibility and distinctness of her appearance, as reported by the Austin Police Department.
