LOWELL TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WZZM) -- Kent County deputies have ended
their search for the night after a Lowell Township teenager left home on
her own.

Leah Ann Drake, 15, walked away from her home on Lockewood Dr. SE around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Undersheriff Jon Hess says Drake left through a window in the home, and left behind a note.

Deputies searched for Drake in a wooded area near her home Tuesday but a
dog team lost her scent, leaving investigators to believe she got into
someone's car.

Drake is described as 5'3" and 115 lbs., and was wearing black and red
braces. She was last seen wearing a black short-sleeve shirt, a
mint-green skirt, black shoes, and blue denim hat. She was seen carrying
a black bag. Deputies say her hair is black and is now shorter than in
the photo they have released.

Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to call the Kent
County Sheriff's Department at (616) 632-6100, or Silent Observer at
(616) 774-2345.
