CANTON, Ga. - Cherokee detectives held a road block Monday morning on Cumming Highway in Free Home and passed out information on a missing 16-year-old girl last seen two weeks ago.

Casey Lynn Gardner was last seen Thursday June 17 at Homer's Gas Station in the Free Home community.

Police describe Gardner as a white female, 5 foot 7 inches, 125 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing blue jeans and a yellow shirt.

Gardner left on foot and has no cell phone. She has friends and family in Murray County, say police.

Detectives spoke with relatives and friends but have been unable to locate Gardner.

Lieutenant Jay Baker of the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office says detectives passed out flyers at the roadblock with the girl's information on it hoping someone will recognize her.

Anyone with any information about Gardner is urged to contact Cherokee County 911.

Casey Lynn Gardner, the 16-year-old Cherokee County girl missing for 11 days and the reason for a police roadblock on Cumming Highway, was found Monday night.

The teen, one of four foster children who live in a Canton home, was located in Forsyth County after the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office received an anonymous tip. Gardner apparently was in good health, according to the sheriff's office.
