 This case is more concerning than most missing children cases because Nevaeh’s been missing for such an extended period of time, searches and checks with family and friends have turned up nothing, and the chilly weather is a concern for her health and well-being.

Nevaeh was wearing a red, white and blue striped shirt, knee length blue jeans, but no shoes or socks when she went missing.

If you have any information on the alleged victim, abductor or vehicle, you’re being urged to call 9-1-1 or Monroe County Sheriff's Office at (734) 243-7070.
