Woodbury City Police are seeking the public’s help locating 16-year-old Nichole Bell after her guardian reported her missing. Her whereabouts remain unknown, and published accounts give different timelines for when she was last seen.
The reports differ on when Bell was last seen. Newport Dispatch reports that Woodbury police said she was last seen at approximately 7 a.m. on Monday. Shorenewsnetwork.com, by contrast, says she left home at approximately 3 p.m. last Friday. The accounts do not explain the discrepancy.
Shorenewsnetwork.com reports that Bell may have been heading to Atlantic City, but her current whereabouts are unknown. The outlet also reported that police had not released a physical description or clothing information as of its report.
