Morgan County police are seeking the public’s help in their search for a teenage girl who went missing earlier this month.
Angel Turner was last seen in the Fairview Drive area of Berkeley Springs on Aug. 2, according to the Morgan County Sheriff’s Department.
The 15-year-old’s parents say she left behind her phone, pet dog and medicine when she disappeared.
Turner’s parents said they have no way to get in contact with their daughter, and told MetroNews they suspect her disappearance could have been an abduction.
They have also asked Berkeley Springs residents to check their video cameras from the night of Friday, Aug. 2 to the morning of Saturday, Aug. 3 for potential information.
Turner is 5 feet and 1 inch and 260 pounds, with blonde hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a black shirt, white shorts and black sneakers at the time of her disappearance.
Authorities in Morgan County asked anyone with information on Turner’s disappearance or whereabouts to contact the Morgan County Sheriff’s Department or Morgan County 911 at 304-258-0305.
