Police looking for Versailles, Mo., teen after call to mother ends with disturbing message
Police have asked for help finding a missing 16-year-old Versailles, Mo., girl who left a fast-food restaurant and later called her mother distraught. The call ended with a disturbing message.
Police issued the endangered person advisory early Wednesday for Kiaira Lazae Burris, who left a McDonald’s restaurant in Versailles about 3 p.m. Tuesday. She called her mother at 9:30 p.m. crying and sounding distraught. A male voice then came on the line and repeatedly said, “I hid the body” before disconnecting the call.
The call came from an unknown number.
Burris is described as a black female, about 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighing 175 pounds. She has brown hair, brown eyes and a tattoo of a rose outline on her left arm. She last was seen wearing a brown and tan sleeveless sundress and black sandals with pearls. She was carrying a black backpack containing clothes.
Authorities updated the endangered person advisory about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday saying that Burris might be traveling in a gray Chevrolet Malibu with tinted windows and front-end damage. Police did not know the car’s registration. It was last seen about 7 p.m. Tuesday in Columbia.
Police also said Burris might be with 20-year-old Antonio Jerel Primer Jr.
Anyone who sees Burris, Primer or the car is asked to call 911 or the Versailles Police Department at 573-378-5481.
