ALEXANDRIA (Aly) MARQUES - 16 yo - Clovis NM

A 16-year-old Clovis girl, missing since June 7, had thoughts of
running away before her disappearance, according to a supplemental
police report released Tuesday.


The police report also shows that Alexandria (Aly) Marques had been
in contact with an Albuquerque-area woman affiliated with a church group
and “mentions she might visit when school is out,” the Clovis News Journal reported.

Laurie Haskell, the girl’s aunt and guardian, has insisted the girl
did not run away but had a history of “blanking out” and getting lost,
the News Journal said.

Haskell said Tuesday that her niece’s Facebook friend from
Albuquerque is aware of the girl’s disappearance and has joined efforts
to find her, the paper reported.

Police have said that a female matching Marques’ description was seen
headed south on U.S. 70 the same afternoon as the girl’s disappearance,
according to the News Journal.

The girl was first listed as a runaway, but her status was changed to
“endangered” on June 12 by the New Mexico Department of Public Safety,
the News Journal said.

Haskell told the paper that her niece has been diagnosed with PTSD,
has undergone three heart surgeries, cut her wrist some time last year
and was hospitalized in March after “huffing” compressed air, the paper
reported.
