Authorities question two in the case of a 13-year-old girl missing since Wednesday
Authorities are now offering a $25,000 reward for information that leads to the safe return of a missing 13-year-old girl who was kidnapped from the home of a relative.
Shavon Le’Faye Randle was last seen about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday and is believed to have been abducted by a man in a white 4-door-sedan with possible damage and possible dark colored paint that rubbed off on the rear passenger quarter panel of his vehicle, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The DPS issued an Amber Alert on Thursday asking the public for help finding Randle.
Investigators identified four persons of interest they wanted to talk to in connection with Randle’s disappearance and two have been located, a spokeswoman with the City of Lancaster said. Investigators questioned Laporshya Polley, 25, of Dallas, and Darius Fields, 26, of Glen Heights, on Friday, but were still trying to locate Devontae Owens, 24, of Dallas and Michael Titus, 19, of Dallas, according to Rona Stringfellow, Lancaster assistant city manager.
