UPDATE: Juvenile has been found safe
In a small town like Ashland, Ohio, the disappearance of a teenager sends a chill through the community. Nevaeh “Lilly” Kitchen, a 15-year-old girl, vanished into thin air sometime after 6pm this evening. As the night grew darker, the search for Nevaeh intensified, but the answers seemed elusive.
Nevaeh Kitchen was last seen in the 200 block of E 8th Street, headed south. Her physical description painted a picture of a petite girl with dark red hair and brown eyes. She was dressed in a black sweatshirt with red writing, black yoga pants, and shockingly, no shoes.
The Ashland Police Division immediately launched a search operation, allocating every available resource to find Nevaeh. Lieutenant Aaron Kline spearheaded the efforts, coordinating with other agencies. However, the initial search yielded no tangible leads.
Amid the growing urgency, the Ashland County Sheriff’s Office Drone Team was brought in to cover larger areas and Ashland’s wooden terrain. Aerial surveillance, combined with the tireless efforts of the Officers and Deputies, proved fruitless. Without any breakthroughs.
With no concrete leads to follow, law enforcement turned to the public for assistance. The authorities appealed to the community, urging them to come forward with any information that could help unravel the mystery.
Although Police believe it is a case of a runaway child. So, the question remains, what happened to Nevaeh?
