Missing Dallas Teen
What’s new:
Natalie Armstrong was reported missing after she left her home in Dallas on Wednesday.
Newly released photos show her exiting a DART train at the SMU Mockingbird Station that same night with another person who is also believed to be a minor.
Police have not yet identified that person.
The backstory:
Dallas police said Armstrong has developmental disabilities and is considered an endangered missing person who may be in need of assistance.
She’s described as 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighing approximately 135 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. She was last seen wearing a gray hoodie, blue jeans, and white shoes.
What they’re saying:
“There aren’t even words to wrap around how worrisome it’s become.”
Megan Bernhardt, Armstrong’s mother, says her daughter was upset about upcoming school evaluations before running away from home last Wednesday.
She wants her daughter to know she’s not in trouble.
“We just want to snuggle back up in bed. Like the thought of possibly not getting to do that again is awful,” Bernhardt said. “That’s one of those thoughts that I have to kind of stop myself before I get into, because if I really allow myself to venture into that, it’s pure torture.”
What you can do:
Authorities urge anyone with information on her whereabouts to call 911 or the Dallas Police Department at 214-671-4268, referencing case number 155505-2026.
Volunteers with Send Me DFW are hoping to narrow down Armstrong’s location.
