A Middletown teen has been reported missing and police are seeking the public’s assistance to help find her.
According to New Castle County Police, units responded to the 400 block of Commodore Drive in the community of Commodore Estates in Middletown on Aug. 25 at 5:15 p.m. for a report of a missing person.
Family told police that 16-year-old Kathleen Burris had not been seen since the early afternoon and that she had left a note which caused concern for her welfare, police said.
Burris reportedly left the residence sometime between 1 and 5 p.m. on Tuesday possibly on foot as she has no other means of transportation. Patrol units checked the area but were unable to locate her. She was last seen wearing pajama type clothing, but may have changed before leaving the residence.
