(Via email, confirmed true...)

Shana Malka Colby, a 16 year old blonde, blue eyed young lady, 5'2" & 130 lbs, is missing from the Jewish community in Richmond, VA, and considered to be a run away.

"There are a lot of theories that she may have gone to New York and the hope is that especially with the everyone-knows-everyone factor in the Jewish world that someone will know someone who has information. Shana may travel to Richmond, or to Brooklyn or Monsey, New York. Her ears are pierced.

We think she may be in danger and whatever anyone can do to help the situation would be appreciated."

Anyone having information should contact the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678 (1-800-THE-LOST) or the Henrico County Police Department (Virginia) 1-804-501-5000.

May she be returned safely.
