Unfortunately, there are not any details that I could find online about the disappearance of 15-year-old Nevaeh Lotero from Tyler. She went missing April 28. Take a look at her picture below and contact the Tyler Police Department if you have even the slightest bit of information that could lead to her being found.

Why are these kids missing?

No official details have been given as to why these kids are missing. It doesn't matter, really, because these families are in constant worry mode wondering where their child might be.
