A 13-year-old girl from Southwest Philadelphia has been missing since Sunday afternoon, and a Newport Dispatch report later said she was spotted riding a SEPTA bus toward Neshaminy Mall. Chloe Coplie was last seen October 25 at 1:50 p.m. on the 8500 block of Lynnwood Street, wearing a white shirt and green-and-white pajama pants.
The Philadelphia Police Department's Southwest Detective Division is requesting the public's assistance in locating her, according to phillypolice.com, which lists her as a missing juvenile out of the city's 14th District. As reported by Newport Dispatch, she was later seen Wednesday at 9:40 a.m. aboard SEPTA's Route 14 bus heading toward Neshaminy Mall, dressed differently than when she disappeared — in a pink sweatshirt, black pants, and carrying a pink backpack.
What Chloe Coplie Looks Like
Police describe Coplie as 5 feet 2 inches tall and about 120 pounds, with medium brown skin, brown eyes and black braided hair. The outlet's report notes the two different outfits tied to her case: the white shirt and pajama pants she wore when she vanished from Lynnwood Street, and the pink sweatshirt and backpack she had with her days later on the bus.
Investigators have not said what prompted the search or detailed the circumstances surrounding Coplie's disappearance. Her last known location was in Southwest Philadelphia, and she was later reported aboard a bus bound for Neshaminy Mall.
