The department released the following description of Samantha: 13 years old, stands five feet tall and weighs 110 pounds, has red hair and blue eyes.

Anyone with information on Samantha's whereabouts is asked to call VBPD at 757-385-4101.

In our Have You Seen Me series, we cover missing persons cases, especially those that don't traditionally get a lot of attention. News 3 anchor Jessica Larché's special reports shine a light on the issue, and as she's reported, just because a child ran away, it does not mean they are not in danger.
