Police in Oakland, California are asking the public to be on the lookout for a 12-year-old girl who went missing from the area last week.

On January 23, 2019, Sariyah Cherie Barker went missing from her therapist’s office located in the Fruitvale district of Oakland. She left the facility without her cellphone, making contacting the pre-teen a nearly impossible task. She hasn’t returned home but authorities believe that she has been staying with someone in the area of 66th Ave and International Blvd. Sariyah has been spotted in Vallejo and West Oakland, as well.

According to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NaMus), Sariyah is 5 feet 4 inches tall and 105 pounds. At the time of her disappearance, her hair was dyed strawberry blonde and Sariyah has brown eyes. Reports state she was last seen wearing a black Nike sweater, blue jeans, gray/purple Jordan sneakers, and a silver cross necklace.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Oakland Police Department at (510) 238-3641 or their local authorities

This case comes from one of our readers who was concerned after they weren’t able to find any updates about Quahziah Bouie. The 15-year-old girl reportedly went missing from Davie or Miami, Florida, but the investigation into her missing person case remains unknown. New station CBS 4 Miami reported on the case in May 2014, but aside from one report and a listing on Black & Missing, no one has been publicly searchig for Quahziah. (more…)
