Police in Maryland are searching for a missing teen who hasn’t been seen in nearly two weeks.
Dacara Thompson, 19, was last seen August 22 at her father, Daniel Thompson’s, home in Lanham. She reportedly left to get gas for her 2013 white Ford Edge, and never returned.
Daniel Thompson said she sent him a text at 11:50 p.m., telling him, “I got gas & I’m out. I should be back soon. I love you too. Goodnight
“She just said I’m going out. I’ll be back,” he told WUSA9.
The following morning, she still hadn’t returned home.
“We both tried to communicate with her several times, phone calls, texts, everything, and she was not responsive to both of us, which was very unusual because she always responds,” her mother, Carmen Thompson, said.
When Carmen checked the Find My Phone app, she noticed her daughter’s location sharing had been turned off. Her last known location was the intersection of Jasmine Terrace and Riggs Road, in Hyattsville.
Dacara’s father said that cash, her purse and debit cards were found inside the vehicle. Her cellphone was missing and had been disabled.
A neighbor’s security footage showed someone that appeared to be Dacara exiting the SUV and walking toward Riggs Road at around 1:30 a.m.
“If she sees this, hopefully she will just come home,” Daniel said.
“Find somebody’s phone, I don’t know if she has access to her phone, just call 911.”
Dacara was last seen wearing a dark-colored jacket and denim jeans, according to ABC 2 Baltimore. She has tattoos on her left arm and on the right side of her body.
Anyone with information on her whereabouts is urged to contact Prince George’s County Police Department.
