Two Albany teenagers have been reported missing after they were last seen in the city on November 2, and police are now asking the public for help finding them. Shaylyn Nickerson, 16, and Maya Doty, 14, have not been located since that date, according to authorities.
The disappearances were reported by WNYT, which confirmed that both girls were last seen in Albany, New York, on November 2. Anyone with information about either teen is asked to contact the Albany Police Department at 518-438-4000.
A listing on the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children's website separately identifies Shaylyn Nickerson as missing since November 2, giving her current age as 16 and listing her last known location as Albany, New York, according to a poster posted to missingkids.org.
What Remains Unknown
No physical descriptions, photographs, or details about the circumstances surrounding either girl's disappearance have been made public as of now. It is also not yet clear whether the Albany Police Department has released any further information beyond the request for tips.
Missing-persons cases in the Albany area do not always end in prolonged searches. In a separate case earlier this year, the Albany Police Department announced it had safely located a missing 13-year-old who had been reported missing the day before, according to a report from News10. In that instance, the girl had left Albany Medical Center Hospital and was last seen around 3:50 p.m. near South Pearl Street and First Avenue before she was found safe.
For now, police are relying on the public to help close the gap, and anyone with information is urged to call the Albany Police Department.
