Authorities are on the lookout for Tasjanea Peter, a 16-year-old girl who mysteriously vanished from Oakland Park, as reported by the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO). The teen was last seen on Tuesday around 8 a.m. near the 200 block of Lake Pointe Drive. A call has been put out to the public to aid in finding her, according to information provided by the Local 10 News.

Peter's description has been widely circulated in hopes someone can provide helpful information. She is noted to be roughly 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighs around 175 pounds. She's recognizable by her long black braids and brown eyes, and was last seen clad in an army-styled camouflage jacket and gray pants. The BSO has made pleas to anyone who might be able to help urgently come forward.

The detective in charge of this case, Leonard Charla, is the point of contact for anyone with details that could potentially lead to locating Peter. The BSO has not only provided Detective Charla's direct line but also a non-emergency number to ensure that any piece of information, no matter how small it may seem, is reported. "Anyone with information on her whereabouts is urged to contact BSO Detective Leonard Charla at 954-321-4274 or the BSO non-emergency number 954-764-4357," as per the report by Local 10 News.

Community members and officials are rallying together in the search, acknowledging the critical period following a person's disappearance. The BSO's approach to quickly engage the community is a vital component in the effort to rapidly locate those who are missing. "Officials urge anyone with information on her whereabouts to contact BSO Detective Leonard Charla," WSVN has stressed, highlighting the role of public participation in these urgent situations. The case remains ongoing as the search for Tasjanea Peter continues.
