Multiple law enforcement agencies are involved in a desperate search Friday for a missing Georgia girl whom police say “may be in danger” after fleeing her home with a suspect she met over the internet.
R’Kayla Briggs, 11, has not been seen since leaving her residence in Jonesboro on Tuesday but is still believed to be within the state of Georgia, the Clayton County Police Department said.
“Upon arrival, officers learned R’Kayla Briggs left at 3:39 p.m. through the backdoor without permission with a packed bag. Family members of R’Kayla Briggs stated they believe she is with an adult male,” police said. “Family members believe R’Kayla Briggs has been planning to leave with this person for some time.”
As of Friday, the identity of the individual remains a mystery.
