Whereabouts of a missing fifth-grader still unknown

Posted

Philadelphia police still have not found Qadr Williamson, the 10-year-old girl who went missing two weeks ago from the 300 block of Glen Echo Road, where she was living with a foster family. Qadr was last seen walking to the Henry Houston Elementary School on Allens Lane, where she is in the fifth grade.

At a press conference last week, Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said no “Amber Alert,” for the child has been issued for Qadr because police do not believe she is “in imminent danger.”

“We believe that she left the neighborhood voluntarily and may now be in the care of relatives,” Outlaw said at the press conference.

As of press time on Tuesday, however, police could not say exactly where Qadr is, or who is caring for her.

“This is a very unfortunate situation; however, I can assure you the Northwest Detective Division is diligently working towards her being reunited with her home family/home,” police spokesman Eric McLaurin stated in an email. “Thanks for your continued thoughts and concerns during this situation.”
