Missing Girl Dragged by Hair Search Called off By Police

| By

The search for missing girl dragged by her hair during an argument with a man believed to be between 16-18 years old in Los Angeles has been called off by the police due to insufficient evidence.

KABC reports investigators believe an assault and kidnapping did take place on a 13 year old girl and police searched for the missing girl on Tuesday on the undeveloped hills east of downtown Los Angeles in a massive search. Witnesses say they saw a teenage girl or woman being dragged by her hair by a man after they had gotten into a verbal fight.

"That argument escalated to the point where the male struck the female at least once in the face and then began to drag her up into the brush area by the hair," police Lt. Andy Neiman said.

Sketches of both the girl and the man were released late Tuesday. Officers found leggings and tennis shoes in El Sereno.

No reports of a missing girl had been filed, but the witnesses seemed credible, police said.

"My hope is that this was a dispute that was resolved in some way, but we have to treat everything like it's the real deal," Police Chief Charlie Beck said at a news conference.
