A 17-year-old girl has gone missing from her home on the 1400 block of Ormond Avenue in Camden, and police are turning to the public for help finding her. Azuree Butler was reported missing from the 1400 block of Ormond Avenue and is known to frequent nearby Parkside and Fairview, according to a Facebook alert posted by the Camden County Police Department on Sunday.
The department describes Butler as a Black female with brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a brown romper and denim shorts, per the Camden County Police Department's post, which was titled “Help us find our neighbor.”
This is not the first time Butler has been reported missing from the same address. Newport Dispatch reported in November 2025 and again in January 2026 that Camden County Police had previously issued missing-person advisories for Butler from the 1400 block of Ormond Avenue, pointing to a recurring pattern connected to her home address.
Why Search Efforts Span Three Neighborhoods
Police say Butler frequents Parkside and Fairview. The available information does not provide further geographic, housing, or pricing details about those areas.
Camden County Police are asking anyone with information to call the department's tip line at (856) 757-7042.
A Pattern Seen Across Camden's South Side
Butler's case follows Hoodline's report on missing teen Brihana Cruz, a 16-year-old reported missing from home on Chase Street in Whitman Park who was also known to frequent Whitman Park and Fairview.
Under New Jersey's Patricia's Law, enacted in 2008, state and local law enforcement agencies are legally barred from imposing any mandatory waiting period before accepting and acting on a missing-person report, according to a report from WPG Talk Radio. The requirement allows a missing-person report to be accepted without a mandatory waiting period.
National Data Offers Some Context, Not Certainty
Nationally, missing-juvenile cases are often resolved. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children's 2025 Impact Report found the organization assisted with 32,167 missing-child cases that year, with an overall recovery rate of 90 percent, according to NCMEC. Separately, FBI data are not included here.
The Camden County Police Department's scope in recent years is not detailed in the available information.
No further details about Butler's disappearance have been released. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is urged to contact Camden County Police.
