ORIGINAL POST: Two young girls are missing in Anchorage, and police are asking the public to help bring them home safely. One is just 13 years old. The other is only 14.
The Anchorage Police Department (APD) is asking for the public’s assistance in locating 13-year-old Cydnee Martinand 14-year-old Brenda Neketa, who were last seen together Monday evening, November 9.
According to an APD missing person alert, the girls were last seen around 7:30 p.m. in the area of Sixth Avenue and H Street in Anchorage. They were on foot and may have been using the public bus system.
Police are especially concerned about Cydnee’s young age, which qualifies her as a child of tender years. Both girls are juveniles, and locating them as soon as possible is important.
What the Girls Were Wearing
APD provided the following descriptions to help the public recognize the missing girls.
Cydnee Martin, 13, was last seen wearing:
- A white jacket with fur around the hood.
- A dark-colored shirt underneath.
- Dark pants or jeans with white crosses on the sides.
- Her hair was dyed dark blue and was shoulder-length.
Brenda Neketa, 14, was last seen wearing:
- A black shirt.
- Black pants.
- A fanny pack.
- A purse.
Please Look, Share and Help Bring Them Home
A missing person alert is more than a police announcement. It is a request for an entire community to pay attention.
Someone may have seen the girls walking along a sidewalk, boarding a bus, waiting at a stop, or traveling through Anchorage that evening. Someone else may recognize their clothing or remember seeing them in an area they passed through.
That small detail could be important.
Please take a moment to look carefully at their photographs and share this alert. Send it to friends, family members, coworkers and anyone who may be in or around Anchorage. Share it on social media and in community groups. The more people who see their faces, the greater the opportunity for someone with useful information to come forward.
These are two young girls, ages 13 and 14. Their families and loved ones need them home safely. Please don’t assume someone else has already shared the alert. Your share could reach the person who knows where they are or who last saw them.
If you have information about the whereabouts of Cydnee Martin or Brenda Neketa, call Anchorage Police Dispatch at 311.
