She's tall for 12. She looks older than 12 in the picture too. If her UID body was found somewhere I wouldn't be surprised if they estimate the age as being much older.

Very tall for 12 and young to have run away never to return.

Richard · Mar 22, 2012

Bumping this one up. No comments in four years. She is still missing and her case remains unsolved.

Luckyswife · Mar 25, 2012

12 years old and she's listed as a runaway? She should be at the least missing endangered. Anymore info on the case?

Shaliegh has been missing for 25 years and I can't find any worthwile news articles or family posts about her online...

I found this on Google and it says she's an Endangered Missing person and her name is spelled "Shaleigh".
What a shame, these children don't have voices because they CAN'T speak, and nobody is standing up for them!

Medea2 · Oct 13, 2013

What could have made her run away so young? Very sad.

Shaliegh's photo is shown age-progressed to 40 years (07/28/16).

No updates on this case?! Any family comments in the past to media or anything?

Soulmagent · Feb 12, 2019

I wonder it her weight and height are correct. I think 5'7 and 110 lbs sounds off.
5' 7 and 110 Pounds - What's my BMI? Male and Female

She does not look underweight in the picture of her posted but according to the BMI chart she would be eight pounds under a normal BMI .

She does not look underweight in the picture of her posted but according to the BMI chart she would be eight pounds under a normal BMI . Not to mention 5'7 at 12 is very tall.

Andreee · Feb 12, 2019

It says on various missing persons websites that she is 5 ft. 7 inches, so maybe she is just one of the few 12-year-olds who sprouts like a bean. I'm not sure if I can link info. from other sites like FB? At any rate, police believe she left her home on her 'own accord' as a runaway and may have stayed in the area.I wonder if police have any updates or have investigated further? Vague info. and no input from family online.

While it's totally understandable for you to question this, because when I saw this too I found it odd, but BMI calculations are different for children and teenagers from adults. You not only have to input height, weight, and biological sex, age is also a factor.

I put the information into a calculator put specifically for children and teenagers (aged 2-19), and while the BMI still falls at a 17.2, which would be underweight for an adult of that height and weight, she would be around the 36th percentile for children her age and sex, making her a healthy weight (healthy weight ranges from 5th percentile to the 85th percentile).

I’m stumped, can’t find anything, the only thing I could find was her mother maiden name was Steele.
