15-year-old girl goes missing after walking out of school

BEREA, Ky. (WTVQ)- Berea Police say a 15-year-old girl is missing after walking out of school Wednesday.

Police say Amber Renae Wagers walked out of Berea Community School around 10 a.m. Wednesday.

Officers believe Wagers left with an unknown subject driving a white passenger car, possibly a Chevy Malibu. Officers also believe Wagers met this subject through a social media account.  Berea Police say after leaving school, Amber messaged a friend saying that she was possibly being taken to Ohio, and that the police needed to be called.

Berea police spokesman Jake Reed says police determined Wagers “left on her own free will,” and there’s no threat to the school or its students. He called the case “really concerning.”

Reed says investigators are trying to access Wagers’ social media accounts. She’s listed as a missing person. An Amber Alert hasn’t been issued.

If anyone has information on Wagers’ whereabouts, call local law enforcement agency.
