19 Girls Vanished in Texas in September, Including a Marshall Teen

(Marshall, Texas) - It's never easy for me to sit down and write about the subject of teens that have gone missing in Texas. Most of the time, we don't know the circumstances around their disappearance. They could have run away, they could have been kidnapped or they could have been taken by the other parent during a visitation.

No matter the circumstance, in September, 19 families reported their girls missing in Texas. That's too many. Law enforcement needs your help to bring these teens back to their family and friends.

An East Texas Family Needs Your Help

We currently have one family in East Texas that is looking for their missing teen girl. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of details online into exactly why she went missing. That doesn't matter, this East Texas family wants their teen home.

17-year-old Millie Violet Parson was reported missing from Marshall September 25. Be on the lookout as she could still be in the area. If you see her, do not approach. Pick up the phone and call the local authorities to report your sighting.
