Your support makes all the difference.Delaware police have issued an Amber Alert for a missing 17-year-old girl whose safety “may be at risk,” law enforcement has said.
The alert was issued at 8.12am on Tuesday for Taniyah Quail-Marker from Dover, Delaware, east of Washington, DC.
In a press release, Dover police said that Taniyah left the home of a relative at around midnight on Monday night “with a male subject”.
“Attempts to contact Taniyah Quail-Marker or locate her have been unsuccessful,” police added.
The evidence that law enforcement has gathered so far suggests that her safety could be at risk and that “her missing status may not be voluntary,” police said.
The authorities said she’s around 5ft 4in and was last seen wearing a blue cookie monster shirt, with shorts and white crocs.
Police said she was seen with a Black man with dreadlocks wearing dark clothes in a “blue Nissan Versa with Alaska registration JPL799”.
The agency also included an image of what the car could look like.
Police urged the public to “contact your local law enforcement agency or dial 911 immediately” if they have information relevant to the case.
