The Aberdeen Police Department is continuing to seek information on a girl who went missing more than two weeks ago.

Kiona Johnson, 17, was reported missing by the department in late September. Johnson was last seen walking to a store on South Boone Street in Aberdeen on Sept. 18. The Washington State Patrol also issued a Missing Indigenous Person Alert.

“We’ve had tips come in since the flier went out that she’s been spotted. We have not been able to verify that,” said Detective Cody Blodgett of the APD. “We do the better-safe-than-sorry and make sure someone from law enforcement or family makes contact.”

Juvenile runaways tend to pick up in the summer months, Blodgett said. Anyone seeing someone matching Johnson’s description is strongly encouraged to call 911, Blodgett said. Johnson is 5-foot-2-inches tall, weighing about 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

“We want to make sure she’s safe,” Blodgett said. “I would encourage people even if they’re not sure it’s her to call it in. If they see someone who looks like the person in the flyer, to call it in.”
