2 Middle School Girls Missing In Murrieta

MURRIETA (CBS) —  Two Murrieta middle school girls walked off campus Tuesday morning and officials say they haven't been seen since.

The sixth-graders, 13-year-old Kira Keys and 12-year-old Odelea "Dede" Justin, met up at Dorothy McEhinney Middle School before the start of classes and left less than an hour later, according to Murrieta Valley Unified School District officials.

Riverside County sheriff's investigators believe the girls are runaways.

"There is currently no reason to suspect foul play," said sheriff's Cpl. Courtney Donowho. "All evidence indicates these girls left the school together without coercion from anyone else."

Campus surveillance video showed the girls walking away from the grounds around 8:50 a.m.

Kira's mother reported her missing when she arrived to retrieve her daughter that afternoon and learned the 13-year-old had not attended any of her classes, officials said.

Kira is black, light-skinned, about 5-foot-3 and 130 pounds, with brown eyes and straight brown shoulder-length hair. She wears eyeglasses.

Odelea is black, about 5-foot-5 and 118 pounds, with long braided black hair.

Anyone with information about their whereabouts was asked to call the sheriff's Southwest Detective Bureau at (951) 696-3000.
