Missing Teen - Orangeburg, South Carolina

9/28/2012: South Carolina: Police are asking for the public’s help locating a teenager who has been missing since last week.

Police say 16-year-old Kymmara Randolph was last seen at her family’s St. Paul apartment taking out the trash.

Randolph’s mother reported her missing on Monday. The teen’s mother has been trying to reach her via cell phone since the youth left.

The mother said it’s unusual that her daughter would refuse to answer her phone.

Investigators consider Randolph to be an endangered missing person and say she may be in the company of a female acquaintance. The two have been seen in the Columbia area, police say.

If anyone has any information on Randolph’s whereabouts, they are asked to contact the Orangeburg Department of Public safety at 803-534-2812 or Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
