Local law enforcement officials are looking for a young woman that has been missing since earlier this month.

Kennly Rae Hamilton, 19, was last seen leaving her residence located in the Harmony Grove community at around 11 p.m. on Dec. 1. A flyer from the Ouachita County Sheriff’s Department describes Hamilton as 5’2” in height, 150 pounds, and with brown hair and green eyes.

She is also a student at Southern Arkansas University Tech.

OCSD Detective Nathan Greeley shared that Hamilton left with a male that has not yet been identified. Greeley also said that Hamilton ran away from home as a minor and explained that because she is 18 years-old, she can leave whenever she wants, but the male she may have left the area with is a reason to be “cautious.”

“We feel like she left on her own will, but we are still cautious with anyone not knowing who the male subject is,” Greeley said.

“We have to be cautious because of human trafficking and the dangerous people that are out there.”

Anyone with any information regarding Hamilton can contact the OCSD at 235-5300.
