Schenectady resident Hajile Howard, age 14, was announced as a missing person on Thursday, Dec. 1, by Schenectady Police.
Authorities did not immediately say when the girl was last seen, but said there is no reason to believe she is in danger.
Howard is 5-feet-4-inches tall and weighs 150 pounds.
Thursday’s announcement came just days after Schenectady Police announced that 14-year-old Samantha Humphries was missing.
Humphries was last seen at around 11:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 25, near Riverside Park in the Stockade neighborhood, according to police.
She is described as 4-feet-11-inches tall and weighing 95 pounds.
She was last seen wearing a black and pink puffy jacket, bell bottom jeans, and tan Timberland boots.
On Thursday, Dec. 1, a State Police dive team was seen searching the Mohawk River just south of Riverside Park, below a railroad bridge.
Relatives told WRGB that investigators have found Humphrey’s cell phone, and Schenectady Police confirmed to the outlet that they have been in contact with the girl’s ex-boyfriend.
Anyone with information in either case is asked to contact the Schenectady Police Department at 518-630-0911.
