Philadelphia police are asking the public for help finding Leah Denny, a 17-year-old girl described as 4 feet 9 inches tall and weighing approximately 79 pounds, who was last seen Saturday, October 10. Investigators say she may currently be in the vicinity of the 3800 block of North Reese Street.
The Philadelphia Police Department says it is seeking the public’s assistance in locating the missing juvenile, according to phillypolice.com. As reported by Newport Dispatch, the case has drawn renewed attention this week as police continue to search for leads.
Conflicting Details on What She Was Wearing
Police say Leah was last seen wearing a black shirt paired with a floral skirt, per phillypolice.com. However, the Newport Dispatch report describes her as last seen wearing a black hoodie and blue jeans. Hoodline could not independently confirm which description is accurate, and both versions are included here as reported by their respective sources.
Leah’s small stature — 4 feet 9 inches tall and about 79 pounds — is among the few details police have emphasized as they ask residents in the area around North Reese Street to be on alert. That block sits within the jurisdiction of the department’s South Detective Division, which is leading the search for her.
How to Help
Anyone with information about Leah Denny’s whereabouts is asked to contact the South Detective Division at 215-686-3013, or dial 911, according to phillypolice.com. Police have not released additional details about the circumstances of her disappearance.
