The Clarksville Police Department is intensively searching for two teen runaways, as detailed in multiple reports and a recent social media post. The two teens, identified as 15-year-old Sa'Riya Whitney and 17-year-old Jan'Niyah Wheeler, have not returned to the residence where they were staying on Paradise Hill Road in Clarksville.
Both youngsters are originally not from Clarksville, with authorities suggesting that Sa'Riya may be in the Murfreesboro area, and Jan'Niyah could possibly be in Hermitage. According to a FOX17 report, the Clarksville Police Department is reaching out to the public for assistance in locating the missing teens. Similarly, ClarksvilleNow noted that the teens left their temporary residence in Clarksville and the circumstances of their departure are currently unclear.
The department is treating the matter with urgency and, in its appeal for public assistance, has shared photos of the teens through social media. In a post by the Clarksville Police Department, they stated: "The Clarksville Police Department is asking for the public's help in locating two runaway juveniles, 15-year-old Sa’Riya Whitney and 17-year-old Ja’Niyiah Wheeler." The information was corroborated by a Clarksville Police Department Facebook post. Law enforcement urges anyone who might have seen Sa'Riya or Jan'Niyah or has information about their whereabouts to call 911 to check their status or to reach out directly to Detective Smith at (931) 648-0656, ext. 5695.
