New Haven family seeks help in finding missing girl, 15

NEW HAVEN —The family of a 15-year-old apparent runaway is seeking the public’s help in locating the girl who hasn’t been seen in nearly two weeks.
Leah Jackson, who likes to be called Leah Carmela, was last seen on July 28.
“The more information I obtain and give to police, the less work they have to do,” said her mother Shari Muhammad. “Is she okay. I know nothing. She left in the middle of the night.
“She would never do anything like that.”
Muhammad and police believe she is a runaway. She shut down her Facebook page before she disappeared and the family is petitioning to get the social media site to allow them access to look for clues on her whereabouts.
Police spokesman Officer David Hartman said police are investigating the missing person’s report but have no reason to believe, based on the information investigators have at this point, to believe she is endangered.
Her family suspects she might be with a Hispanic male in his early 20s. The family has been posting flyers at corner stores, bus stops, the train station, all around town, the mother said.
“I’m just desperately trying to find my daughter,” said Muhammed.
Police asked anyone who sees the girl to contact authorities at 203-946-6304.
The mother’s number is 203-435-8486.
