Pickens County, South Carolina – Deputies are asking the public for help locating a 15-year-old girl reported missing from the Central area late last week.
According to the Pickens County Sheriff’s Office, Alissa Johnson was last seen at her home near Eighteen Mile Road in Central around midnight on Friday. Authorities said she left the residence, and her current whereabouts remain unknown.
The sheriff’s office described Johnson as 5 feet 2 inches tall and approximately 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Deputies said it is unclear what she was wearing at the time she left her home.
The case has been classified as a runaway juvenile, and investigators are continuing efforts to determine where Johnson may have gone and who she may be with. Officials said there is no information at this time indicating foul play, but they are seeking assistance from anyone who may have seen her or has information that could help locate her.
Law enforcement officials emphasized that even small details could be important, particularly sightings in the Central area or along nearby roadways late Friday night or early Saturday morning. Residents are also encouraged to review any security or doorbell camera footage from the area that may show someone matching Johnson’s description.
Anyone with information about Alissa Johnson’s location is asked to contact Sgt. Keith Wald with the Pickens County Sheriff’s Office at 864-898-5523. Tips can be provided directly to deputies, and callers do not need to know Johnson personally to report information.
Cases involving missing juveniles often rely heavily on community awareness, especially in areas frequented by students, young workers, and local commuters who may have been traveling through the area overnight.
