Frankfort Police ask for public help locating 15-year-old reported missing

The Frankfort Police Department is asking for the public’s help locating 15-year-old Aunyah Z. Clifton, who was reported missing on Sunday, Nov. 8. In a statement issued Tuesday, police said Clifton was last seen that day near her home on Quachita Trail.

According to the department, officers are working to determine Clifton’s current whereabouts after her family reported that she was not where she was expected to be following her last confirmed sighting near the Quachita Trail area.

Frankfort Police said they are encouraging residents who may have information to come forward. The department did not provide additional details about Clifton’s appearance in the initial public notice, nor did it describe any circumstances surrounding her disappearance beyond the last-seen location and date.

Police said the investigation is ongoing and that tips are being collected as officers follow up on leads. Authorities typically advise that anyone who believes they may have seen Clifton or who has relevant information to contact law enforcement directly.

The missing-person notice comes as families and community members in Frankfort monitor developments and consider whether they can assist in identifying any sightings in the Quachita Trail area around Sunday afternoon and evening.

Because missing-person cases depend on timely information, police emphasized the importance of reporting observations promptly. Officials did not indicate that Clifton’s disappearance is believed to involve a specific threat, but police said they have been pursuing the matter and are seeking help from the public.
