The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children is asking for the public’s help in locating missing teen, Randi Preston.
Randi, 15, went missing from her home in West Union, Ohio, on Aug. 2, 2024. Randi’s grandma, Terri Milby, said she wished Randi a good night before going to bed and everything seemed fine. The next morning when Terri went to wake Randi up, she was gone. This was over four months ago, and Randi has not reached out to any family or friends since.
Terri shared that Randi has never gone missing before and that this is very out of character for her. Randi’s family is deeply concerned for her safety and as the holidays approach, want nothing more than to bring her home. Terri hopes that this message will reach Randi:
“Randi, I have been missing you since the second you left. I think about you every day and just want you to come home safe. Please let know that you are okay. I love you.”
Authorities believe that Randi may stay in Ohio or travel to Texas. She is described as 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 130 pounds. Randi has brown eyes and may currently have dyed blonde hair.
If you have any information about Randi or her disappearance, please contact NCMEC at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678) or the Adams County Sheriff's Office (Ohio) at 1-937-544-2314.
Praying
I pray for her, and her family. God knows that this is incredibly difficult to go through. I think of the missing daily. Peace
