Police in two metro Atlanta jurisdictions are asking the public for help finding a pair of missing teenagers who vanished within hours of each other over the weekend. A 15-year-old girl was last seen near Old Dixie Road in Jonesboro, while a 14-year-old boy disappeared on Flat Shoals Road in Union City.
Girl Was Reportedly Headed to Meet Friends at the Park
Clayton County police said the girl, identified only by the name Oglesby, was last seen around 4 p.m. Saturday near Old Dixie Road in Jonesboro, according to FOX 5 Atlanta. She was reportedly on her way to Star Park to meet friends when she went missing, the station reported.
Oglesby was last seen wearing a pink-and-black varsity hoodie, black pants and black-and-white sneakers, per the same report. No further details about the circumstances of her disappearance have been released.
Union City Teen Missing Since Early Saturday
Across town, Union City police are continuing to search for 14-year-old Michael Gaither, who was last seen early Saturday morning on Flat Shoals Road, the station's report notes. He is described as 5 feet 6 inches tall and about 210 pounds.
Gaither was wearing a black hoodie, black pants and blue-and-white Nike sneakers when he was last seen, according to the same account. It remains unclear whether the two disappearances are connected in any way, and no additional information about either search has been made public.
Clayton County Has Issued Similar Alerts Before
This is not the first time Clayton County police have asked the public to help locate a missing teen girl from Jonesboro. A separate report from 11Alive described police searching for 15-year-old Lauren Joseph, who left her home around 9 a.m. on July 18 without her parents' permission, though that case is distinct from the current search and not confirmed to be related.
Anyone with information about the whereabouts of either Oglesby or Michael Gaither is asked to contact Clayton County or Union City police.
