HOTLINE: 865-215-7165

Have you seen Kena Reed, 16? She left her home on McCammon Avenue, Maryville on May 23, 2023 leaving her cell phone behind. Later that morning she was at the Kroger on N. Foothills Plaza Dr., Maryville. It is believed she may be with her boyfriend in Knoxville around the Dandridge Avenue area.

Mr. Helton last spoke with his sister over the phone on February 4, 2023 when he told her two friends were going to drop him off at the Greyhound Bus Stop in Knoxville. His sister bought him an electronic ticket, but it has never been used and no one in the family has heard from him since this call. Helton’s sister recently received a message from one of his friends that has created concern about his safety prompting her to file a missing person's report.  

Have you seen either Aki-Sha Cooper, 14 or Zakila Simmons, 16? Both girls left the Katie Miller Home together on January 5, 2023. Cooper has ties in the Knoxville area and Simmons in the Madison, TN area. It is possible they are still in Knoxville or they may be trying to get to Madison, TN.

Simmons has a tattoo: "Tiffany" on Right Forearm
