Philadelphia police are asking for the public's help finding 14-year-old Makenzie Fielder, who has not been seen since 9 p.m. last Sunday. She was last spotted on the 79xx block of Fayette Street, and investigators believe she could now be in the area of the 56xx block of Blakemore Street.
According to Newport Dispatch, Fielder was last seen wearing all black clothing. She is described as 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighing 120 pounds, details police are circulating as they work to narrow down her location.
What Police Want the Public to Know
Investigators are directing anyone with information about Fielder's whereabouts to contact Northwest Detectives at 215-686-3353, or to call 911 directly. The outlet's report does not indicate whether she has since been located or offer any further update beyond the initial appeal for tips.
The case adds to a string of recent missing-juvenile alerts out of Philadelphia. In a separate notice, the Philadelphia Police Department asked for help locating 10-year-old Jalayshia “Malayshia” Alford, who was last seen on the 500 block of North Simpson Street at approximately 7:30 a.m. on October 26. Police described Alford as a Black female, approximately 4 feet 11 inches tall and weighing 70 pounds, and said investigators believe she may be staying with friends or relatives in the area who may not realize she has been reported missing. That case is being handled separately by Southwest Detectives and is not known to be connected to Fielder's disappearance.
Anyone With Information Is Urged to Come Forward
For now, the only confirmed details in Fielder's case are her last known location, her description, and the contact numbers police have provided for tips. Residents near Fayette and Blakemore streets are being asked to stay alert and reach out to investigators if they spot her or have any information that could help bring her home.
