17-year-old Lexington resident still missing

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children is seeking the public’s help in finding a missing 17-year-old Lexington resident.

Lillie Parker was declared missing on Oct. 26 after staying home for her school’s homecoming dance while her family was away for the weekend.

Her father, Matthew Harris, said they last spoke to her around 7 p.m. that Saturday over facetime. When they returned the next morning, Parker was gone, leaving only a note. He also said that she has not reached out to any family or friends, which is out of character for her.

Parker is 5 feet, 1 inch tall and weighs approximately 95 pounds. She has hazel eyes and dyed red-and-blonde hair. She dyes her hair frequently.

Authorities believe Parker is in the local area or in nearby states. There have been unconfirmed sightings of her in Conyers, Georgia.

Her family wants Parker home.

“Lillie, please come. We love you so much and just want to know that you are okay and safe,” they said in the press release.
