Police in Newfoundland and Labrador issued an Amber Alert Thursday for a 14-year-old girl who may be heading to New Brunswick.
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary said Melissa Morrell was abducted by an unidentified suspect whom they believe she knows. She was last seen on Friday at about 11:30 a.m. in St. John’s, N.L.
She was first reported missing on Friday evening, police said.
“Investigators believe that an unauthorized adult was providing guidance to Morrell to travel across the province, potentially destined for New Brunswick,” the force said in a news release.
Morrell is described as being five feet tall, with a medium build, light brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a plaid button shirt and grey pants.
Officials have asked anyone with information about her whereabouts to call 911.
