Original Story
A search is underway for a missing Midlands teenager.
Kaylee Mickens was publicly reported missing by the Sumter Police Department Sunday. The 14-year-old has not been seen since Friday morning, police said in a news release.
Mickens was last seen when she was dropped off at her school, but she never returned to her Corbett Street home, according to the release.
Police said Mickens could be considered a runaway, since she has done it previously.
