What happened to Tayzha Alona Warren?

Tayzha’s mother told WBALT 11 News that the girl’s family has been doing everything manageable to find her, saying they believe she possibly met an older person online and communicated with him until she disappeared.

According to Tayzha’s family, her friends mentioned a man in his 20s, but so far, no one has been able to give any more details.

Tayzha is described as 4 feet, 10 inches tall, weighing 117 pounds and she has short brown hair and brown eyes.

Investigation

Tayzha’s family and the community had put up flyers in hopes someone has answers.

The Black and Missing Foundation posted information on its website. Under the circumstances of this disappearance, the group said it suspects Tayzha is trying to travel to Pennsylvania to meet an unidentified man and that she was last seen wearing red sparkling Crocs. Information about Tayzha was also posted by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Baltimore County police said an investigation into Tayzha’s disappearance is ongoing.
