🚨 MISSING JUVENILE – SIOUX FALLS 🚨

Please help share!!

The family is looking for information about a missing 14-year-old from Sioux Falls. A report has been filed with the Sioux Falls Police Department.

McKenna Wendel, 14, has been missing since Friday night and family members say this is very unlike her. She does not have a phone or warm jacket, which is adding to the concern.

Description:
• Name: McKenna Wendel
• Age: 14
• Race: American Indian / Alaskan Native
• Height: ~5'2"
• Weight: ~98 lbs
• Build: Tall, skinny
• Hair: Dark brown with a blue/teal streak on one side
• School: 8th grade at George McGovern Middle School

Family says she was reportedly given a ride home by a relative Friday night, but home security cameras did not capture anyone arriving at the expected time, which has raised serious concern.

McKenna lives with her grandparents on the west side of Sioux Falls, and family says she normally would have contacted them by now.

⚠️ If you have seen McKenna or know where she may be, please contact the Sioux Falls Police Department immediately.

📞 605-367-7000

If you are with McKenna or know where she is, please encourage her to contact her family or police so they know she is safe.

🙏 Please SHARE this post to help bring McKenna home safely.
