Wichita Police Search for 15-Year-Old Runaway Missing Since Last Month

The Wichita Police Department is asking for public assistance to locate a 15-year-old girl who reportedly ran away from her home last month, according to local law enforcement officials. Investigators are urging anyone with information on her whereabouts to contact local authorities immediately.

Wichita Police Search for Missing Teenager

According to the Wichita Police Department, the teenager left her residence in mid-September. Officers have pursued multiple leads since the initial report was filed, but they have not yet located the juvenile. Department spokespersons note that community tips remain critical in missing persons investigations of this nature.

Local authorities have circulated physical descriptions and missing person bulletins through regional public safety channels. Investigators ask residents in the surrounding neighborhoods to check security cameras and outbuildings, and to report any potential sightings directly to dispatchers rather than attempting contact.

How to Provide Information to Investigators

Law enforcement agencies emphasize that even minor details can assist in locating runaway juveniles safely. Community members with relevant information can reach out through several established reporting channels:

  • Contact the Wichita Police Department directly at their main non-emergency line or through local dispatch.
  • Submit anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers of Wichita and Sedgwick County at 316-267-2111.
  • Call the national missing children hotline at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678) if outside the immediate jurisdiction.

The investigation remains active as local patrols and youth services divisions continue coordination efforts to ensure the teenager’s safe return.
