COOKEVILLE -- Putnam Sheriff's deputies are looking for a teenage girl missing from her home since yesterday.

Marlenia Epperson, 16, of Plunk Whitson Road, was last seen by her family on Thursday morning when they left for work and she had decided to stay home from school because she was not feeling well, said her mother, Annette Epperson.

"But later when my son got home from school she was not there and we have not been able to find her," the mother said this morning.

It is very unusual behavior for her daughter, she said.

Annette Epperson turned to the Putnam Sheriff's Department for help, and Deputy Devin Brown took a report on the case. Detective Roger Cooper is investigating, according to Chief Detective Doug Burgess.

"She had stayed home from school sick and left home sometime during the day yesterday when nobody else was home," Burgess said.

The girl is described as five feet six inches tall, weighing 125 pounds. She has brownish-green eyes and dark brown hair, her mother said.

Anyone who knows her whereabouts or has information about this case is asked to call the Putnam Sheriff's Department at (931) 528-8484.
