Clayton, N.C. — Clayton police are searching for a 16-year-old girl who has not been seen since Feb. 21. 

Foul play is not suspected in Deja O'Neal's disappearance, but police believe she could be with friends in the Middlesex, Goldsboro or Clinton area.

O'Neal did not return to her home on Sleepy Creek Drive after school Feb. 21, and she has not been seen or heard from since. 

O'Neal is black with brown eyes and black hair. She stands about 5 feet tall and weighs 120 pounds. She was last seen wearing a black hoodie with "Yolo" written in pink letters on it, blue jeans, black shoes and a white barrette in her hair. 

She has a mole on her left cheek and neck, police said. 

Anyone with information on her whereabouts should call the Clayton Police Department at 919-553-4611.

Not a lot of parents here today I take it. If your 16 year old doesn't get off the bus today as expected, I guess some folks will shrug it off and go on like business as usual.

Hope she is found. There is no better place than home for a 16 year old girl.

She's 16 and they don't suspect foul play. So what's the big deal? She didn't like it where she was and she went someplace else. Hopefully it worked out better for her.
