A 13-year-old girl from Royal Oak Township has not been seen since she left school Thursday afternoon, and her phone has been off ever since, according to investigators. Victoria Graham was last in contact with her parents around 3:15 p.m. that day, police said, and she never made it home.
Michigan State Police are leading the search for Graham, who is described as a 13-year-old girl from Royal Oak, Michigan, according to FOX 2 Detroit. The station reported that police said Graham may not have returned home from school and may have come to a house, though officers have not confirmed whether she actually did. As of the last update, her whereabouts remained unknown.
Separate reporting on the case includes a conflicting detail about the exact timing of her disappearance. Audacy reported that Graham was last heard from at approximately 3:12 p.m. Thursday, a few minutes earlier than the roughly 3:15 p.m. timeframe cited in the FOX 2 account. Either way, the window in which she vanished was narrow, and nothing has been heard from her since.
Phone Off, Last Believed Near Ferndale or Royal Oak
Graham's cell phone remains off, but authorities believe she is still in the Ferndale or Royal Oak area, Audacy reported. That belief gives searchers a general radius to focus on, even without an active signal to track. Investigators have not said what leads them to that assessment beyond the area around her home and school.
Police have released a detailed physical description to help the public spot her. Graham is approximately 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs about 120 pounds, with blue eyes and long blonde braids, per the same account. The FOX 2 report separately described her as Black with a light complexion. She was last seen wearing a pink puffer-style jacket, a detail both outlets confirmed.
Tip Lines Open for Anyone With Information
Michigan State Police have been asked to receive any information about Graham's whereabouts and are urging anyone who has seen her or knows where she might be to come forward. Tipsters can call Detective/Sergeant Walters at (810) 965-6061 or Trooper Yeung at (313) 237-2450, according to Audacy's report. No further updates on the search had been released as of the most recent reporting.
