LIMA — The family of a teenager in American Township is asking for the public’s assistance in locating her, as she has not been seen for more than 48 hours.
Makayla Buckner, 16, was last seen Thursday morning. According to the family’s home security system, Buckner exited the home at 9:10 a.m. According to her mother, Jennifer Johns, she took no ID with her, only her laptop and cell phone.
“This is not normal for her,” she said. “She’s an introvert. She’s into video games and being online.”
Buckner also has a medical condition that limits her mobility over long distances, a fact which adds to the family’s concern, Johns said.
Buckner is described as being 5 feet 4 inches tall and 145 pounds with brown eyes and brown hair. She was last seen wearing light blue yoga pants, a light frosted blue t-shirt, a Notre Dame hoodie, a cream-colored scarf, black boots and pink glasses.
A police report has been filed with the Lima Police Department. Anyone with information regarding Buckner’s whereabouts is asked to call the police department at 419-227-4444.
