The Detroit Police Department is urgently seeking assistance from the public to locate missing 15-year-old Mya Watkins. Mya was last seen leaving her residence on Holcomb at Canfield, within the confines of Warren and Gratiot on the city's east side, as per WWJ Newsradio.
Authorities are emphasizing the need to swiftly bring Mya home safely and reported that she stands 5'6" tall and weighs approximately 115 lbs. In an attempt to aid the public in recognizing her, this description was attested by multiple sources including the Detroit Police Department's Missing Persons Facebook page, which posted a plea to help find Mya Watkins. This effort to quickly disseminate information crucially spans social and local news media in the hope of ensuring that the community is on high alert to assist in her return.
The case carries additional weight as her mother disclosed that Mya has conditions that might make her particularly vulnerable; she is diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia. These details, shared with the intent to underscore the imperative nature of this search, echo a sense of urgency for those who may come to interact with Mya to understand the possible challenges she might be facing away from home, according to the WWJ Newsradio's report.
The Detroit Police Department is actively requesting that any person with information on Mya's whereabouts immediately contact the Detroit Police Department 7th Precinct at (313) 596-5740. Furthermore, in an instance where community members might prefer, the Department has provided the option to anonymously relay information through the tip line at 1-800-SpeakUp.
