Authorities are expected to conduct an aerial search Friday afternoon for a missing 14-year-old Perry Township girl. The FBI is deploying a plane from Cleveland to assist with the search for Shelby Wengerd, according to Perry Police Chief Mike Pomesky.
Wengerd disappeared from the area of 15th Street and Perry Drive SW around 3 p.m. Wednesday after walking away from a friend’s house. Wengerd, who lives in the 4900 block of 14th St. S.W., is believed to be a runaway, police said. Foul play is not suspected.
Perry Township authorities requested a plane from the Ohio Highway Patrol on Thursday, but weather conditions were unfavorable for an aerial search. The Highway Patrol did not have a plane available today, said Lt. Eric Sheppard, of the Highway Patrol’s Canton post.
A special needs student at Edison Junior High, Wengerd is described as 5-feet tall, about 115 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a blue sweater over a red shirt, black sweat pants, sneakers and glasses.
In addition to the FBI, the Stark County Sheriff’s Office, Ohio State Patrol, and a representative from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children are helping. They are also receiving assistance from neighboring police stations.
“She hasn’t been located, and we still don’t have anything definitive,” Deputy Chief Brian Carbenia said.
