No trace of D.C. teen missing since 2006

A 15-year-old girl from D.C. went missing more than four years ago, and authorities say the teenager has left behind no clues about why she disappeared.

Amanda Patricia Garey was reported missing from her home in the District on Aug. 6, 2006. Since then, authorities trying to find her have had no leads about where she might have gone. Amanda, who would now be age 19, had run away several times in the past, said Melinda Stevens, director of the missing-children division at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. In those cases, Stevens said, Amanda stayed in the area. But now, investigators don’t know whether she has remained local or traveled elsewhere.
