CLAY — The family of a Clay woman is asking the public to help in finding their missing daughter.
Jenny Howard, 20, of Clay, has been missing since she left home on Friday night, her mother Julie Howard said.
“She is 20 years old, but she is mentally handicapped and we fear she could be in danger,” Julie Howard said. “We fear she may have met someone on the internet that has lured her away.”
A missing person report has been filed with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.
“Detective Nappier with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office advised me to tell anyone that might see her to physically keep her there and call them with the address,” Howard said. “Her hair is not as dark as it appears in the close-up photo. She has many connections in the Springville area.”
Anyone who sees Jenny Howard and has any information regarding her whereabouts is asked to call the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office immediately.
