Jada Laboy, 15, was reported missing by family members on June 24 after she was last seen at the familys home. Westerly Police Lt. Steven Johnson said Laboy is considered a runaway at this time, adding that the department is following some early leads, but is seeking help in locating her.
Social media posts shared by Laboys family on Monday indicated she may be trying to get to Arizona, but police said Tuesday that they believe she is still in the Westerly area and may be trying to hide with the help of friends.
