SPRINGFIELD — Officials have not yet heard from a pregnant teen who has been missing from a local group home for the last three days.

Finlea Mitchell, 15, has been missing from Youth in Transition Inc. since Sunday, Nov. 22.

She has several medical conditions that warrants immediate treatment, according to a news release.

“We haven’t heard from her yet,” Youths in Transition Director Sam Singletary said Wednesday, Nov. 25. “We hope she’s OK.”

According to the release, the teen is black with a medium brown complexion, shoulder-length black hair and brown eyes. She is 5-foot-1 in height and weighs about 208 pounds.

She was last seen wearing a bathrobe and high-heeled shoes leaving the group home in a vehicle being driven by an adult.

Singletary said Mitchell has a history of running away.

“I don’t want to say too much about that,” he added. “We hope we can get her to a place where she’s stabilized.”

Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to contact the Springfield Police Division at 937-324-7680.
