Montgomery County detectives are asking the public for help finding Marley Thompson, a 15-year-old who has been reported missing.
The Montgomery County Department of Police said the case is being handled by its Special Victims Investigations Division and asked the public to help locate Thompson.
The department's post identifies Thompson as 15 years old.
Thompson is described as 5 feet 3 inches tall and about 120 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair, per the department's accompanying missing-teen bulletin. The bulletin lists her last known clothing as unknown and notes that she was last seen in the area of Wheelwright Drive and Apple Ridge Road in Montgomery Village on Sunday, November 1, around 4 p.m.
Believed to Be With Another Missing Teen
According to the same bulletin, Thompson is believed to be with Eric Gibson, who was also reported missing. No further detail about Gibson's age or the circumstances of his disappearance was included in the materials released by police.
It remains unclear how or why the two teens' disappearances became connected, and nothing in the police bulletin elaborates on when or where Gibson was reported missing. The department's post does not say whether the two were seen leaving together or were simply both reported missing around the same time.
How to Report Information
Anyone with information about Thompson's whereabouts is asked to call the Montgomery County Police non-emergency line at 301-279-8000, which the department describes as a 24-hour number.
Reporting Missing Children in Maryland
The Maryland Department of State Police says initial missing-person reports must be filed with local law enforcement. The Maryland Center for Missing and Unidentified Persons assists police departments and families statewide.
A figure cited in testimony to the Maryland General Assembly shows that the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children handled 602 cases involving missing children from Maryland in 2022.
No additional updates on the search had been released at the time of the department's post Friday.
