Rochester police searching for missing 9-year-old girl
Authorities in Rochester are seeking the public’s help to locate 9-year-old Inea Mason-Brown, who officials classify as a runaway. The case is particularly urgent given her young age, as she will turn 10 next month.
Investigators say Mason-Brown knows the city’s public transit system well and can navigate it independently. The local transit service has been alerted and is assisting with the search.
She is described as standing about 5 feet 1 inch tall and weighing roughly 70 to 90 pounds. At the time she was last seen, she was wearing a black robe and a navy-blue bonnet. Police note that she has reportedly run away before and is familiar with moving around the Rochester area.
The search is ongoing around the clock as authorities work to locate her. Anyone with information about her whereabouts is urged to notify local law enforcement.
