Olathe police looking for 18-year-old teen who has been missing since last week

The Olathe Police Department is asking for the public’s help in finding a teenager who has been missing since last week.

Shaylah Grace Demeire was last seen Nov. 11 near the 16300 block of South Church Street, the department said in a news release Wednesday. She was reported missing Nov. 12.

The 18-year-old is considered endangered because she does not have prescribed medication she needs.

Demeire stands 5 feet, 2 inches tall and weighs 100 pounds. She has blue eyes and brown hair with purple highlights. She also has a hoop nose ring. Demeire was last seen wearing a gray hoodie with a basketball tournament emblem, gray sweatpants and white Nike high-top shoes.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Olathe Police Department at 913-971-6950 or the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477.
