Police in Wisconsin are searching for a 15-year-old girl who hasn’t been seen since June 20.
According to the Menasha Police Department, Railyn Churchill “left home on her own free will and is possibly in the company of an adult male” in the Green Bay area. Her father, Tim Churchill, said she made numerous calls to the same number before leaving for a skate park last Thursday night.
“For her to just poof and no one has seen her, it just puts a big pit in my stomach,” Tim told WBAY 2.
Tim said he’s been handing out flyers and admitted that this isn’t the first time Railym has left home. However, he said he was able to contact her through friends and family when she previously left.
“You know, in my inquiries with all her friends and family, nobody has spoken with her. Nobody had any news that she would be missing or any updates,” he said. “It’s just poof, as if she fell off the Earth.”
Meanwhile, Menasha police lieutenant Matt Lenss said he’s committed to locating Railyn and is actively working with Green Bay police on the case.
”Any time a child is missing, it’s a main concern to locate them and make sure that they are safe,” Lenss said. “This just has a little different circumstances to make us a little more concerned. Obviously, possibly with an adult male in a different city, we want to make sure that we can locate her safely.”
Raiylin is described as a white female who stands 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs around 130 pounds. She has an ankle tattoo and a semicolon tattoo on her wrist.
Anyone with information on her whereabouts is urged to contact the Winnebago CountyWide Crime Stoppers at (920)231-TIPS (8477). You may also submit a tip online, go to http://winnebagocrimestoppers.org/.
