DETROIT (WWJ) - Detroit police are asking for the public's help in locating a 16-year-old girl who disappeared after she missed the bus home from school.

Police say Treasure Jackson was last seen around 6:45 a.m. Friday, leaving for school from her home in the 8200 block of E. Outer Drive, just east of Gratiot Avenue.

According to police, Treasure called her mother around 3:30 that afternoon, saying she missed the bus from East English Village Prep Academy. Her mother instructed her to walk home, about four and a half miles away, but Treasure never showed up.
