ORIGINAL ARTICLE

Norfolk detectives are looking for a missing 15-year-old named Quazerra Dillard.

The Norfolk Police Department says Quazerra is a runaway. They released the following description of her: “Dillard is about 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighing around 150 pounds. She was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans with white patches.”

She was last seen around 7 a.m. on Thursday, April 20 at Lake Taylor High School and was reported missing that night around 10:30 p.m., according to NPD.

Police say Quazerra “suffers from a mental illness” and may need medical attention.

The department is encouraging anyone with information on Quazerra's whereabouts to call 911. People can also leave tips with the Norfolk Crime Line by calling 1-888-LOCK-U-UP or by downloading the P3Tips app.

In our Have You Seen Me series, we cover missing persons cases, especially those that don't traditionally get a lot of attention. News 3 anchor Jessica Larché's special reports shine a light on the issue, and as she's reported, just because a child ran away, it does not mean they are not in danger.
