Conyers police said officers did an initial search with the use of a K-9, but did not find her.

“I just want her to come home,” Jacqueline said. “We can talk and get the help she needs. She was getting the help she needed. Give her more help.”
The 15-year-old has left home before, according to her mother, who also said she suffers from mental illnesses that she takes medication for.
