On Tuesday at 4:25 p.m., Lemon was reported missing. Police say she may have been upset because of an argument she had the day before with a family member which resulted in her fleeing the home. A neighbor also told police they saw her leave her home on foot Tuesday afternoon.

Police say she is known to frequent a park off of Milltown Road. Police officers searched the surrounding area and neighboring communities but were unable to find her. They also contacted friends of the teen who told them they had not heard from her.

Lemon is described as a white female, standing 5-foot-5, weighing 135 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing gray sweatpants and a white Aeropostale sweatshirt while carrying a black duffle bag as she walked away from her home.
