The Little-Known Unsolved Disappearance of Deniese Hiraman
''Sometimes you come across a case that just screams injustice. And this case is one of them.
When a 13-year-old girl disappears on her way to school one morning, the entire city should be out looking for her. Everyone should know she is missing, and everyone should know her face. If someone sees her, the police should be called immediately.

But that isn’t what happened in the case of Deniese Hiraman. Deniese was just 13-years-old when she vanished. 13-years-old, barely a teenager, and still a child.''

Candlelight Vigil Held for Missing Guyanese & Trinidadian Girls in Queens, 25 Years Later​

By Tracey Khan

"A candlelight vigil was held Sunday evening on Liberty Avenue, Queens, New York to honor the memory of two girls who disappeared from Queens 25 years ago: 13-year-old Deniese Hariman, and her neighbor, Shellyann Sankar, who vanished almost a year later. The gathering drew community members who stood in solidarity with the grieving families, calling for renewed efforts to solve the cold cases."

...

"Denise Hariman’s mother, Seeta Beran, emotionally recalled the day her daughter left for school but never arrived. “It’s hard, but I have to be strong, and I’m trying. My daughter had dreams of going to college and doing great things. She didn’t deserve what happened,” Beran said, her voice shaking. Harriman, born in Albouystown, Guyana, immigrated to the U.S. at age five and lived with her family in Richmond Hill, Queens. She was last seen interacting with Sankar, her neighbor, who helped the Harriman family search for Denise when she first went missing.

Nearly a year after Deniese’s disappearance, Shellyann Sankar also vanished. Sankar, originally from Trinidad, had moved to New York for a better life and had become close to Hariman’s family. Sankar’s then-boyfriend, Rudolph Balgobin, was later implicated in her disappearance and is currently serving a 25-to-life sentence for murder in Florida. Despite his incarceration, the families have not received closure. Beran revealed that Balgobin had written to her, suggesting he would share information about the cases in exchange for money. “He said if I sent him $200, he would tell me what he did to my daughter,” she recounted."

I used to live in NYC, but never visited south ozone. However, it does have a particularly complex crime rate, but most of them from what i've researched are mostly property related.

I'd say she probably ran away under the guise that she was on her way to school or got kidnapped when trying to go to school. It's not that uncommon for kids in NYC to get kidnapped or had an attempted kidnapping before.
