Columbus police are pleading for any leads that could help locate Taylor and Maye after the pair went missing overnight under alarming circumstances.
An Amber Alert swiftly followed at 5 AM as authorities checked the addresses of known family members and friends to no avail. “We have no idea what we are dealing with right now; that’s why we’re asking for the public’s assistance,” said Police Chief Elaine Bryant during an emotional plea Wednesday. “Any information you can give us, we’d greatly appreciate it.”
