Authorities asked the public Thursday for help locating a 15-year-old runaway from Spring Valley.
Alene Mitchem, reported missing last Thursday, had gathered a few personal items and disappeared, leaving behind a note telling her family she was running away, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.
Alene is described as a 5-foot-4-inch, roughly 160-pound white girl with hazel eyes and green-dyed hair. When last seen by her relatives, she was wearing Cookie Monster-print shorts and a navy-blue sweater with “JROTC” printed on it, officials said.
Anyone who might be able to help locate Alene is asked to call the sheriff’s department at 858-565-5200.
