GILMER, Texas — An Amber Alert was issued Monday night for a missing 16-year-old girl.
According to police, Tiffany Nicole Griffith, 16, was last seen Aug. 26 after reportedly jumping out of her bedroom window and leaving her residence.
Griffith is described as being approximately 5-foot-4 inches tall, weighing 145 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a black shirt, white baggy pants, and black-and-white shoes.
Investigators say they have actively followed numerous leads since Griffith’s disappearance. However, officials say the search has been complicated by conflicting accounts, misinformation circulating on social media and individuals who may be withholding information about her whereabouts.
