(WWJ) There is no still sign of Amaria Hall, now more than a year after she disappeared from her Downriver home.
Crime Stoppers is now offering a $10,000 reward as it renews call for tips in the case of the missing 16-year-old girl, who was last seen early in the morning of Sunday, July 7, 2019, in the 2100 block of King Road, near Fort Street in Trenton.
When the teen's mother went to wake her for church, she was nowhere to be found.
Speaking to WWJ Newsradio 950 last year, April Hall said she believer her daughter got involved with an older man, and fears the teen is the victim of sex trafficking.
"I think she's being held against her will," April Hall told WWJ's Stephanie Davis. "I think she's being trafficked. I don't know where she's at."
Hall recalled the last day she saw her child.
"Amaria just was asking me to go to the store and I was asleep taking a nap," she said. "There was no friction between she and I. There was no argument, there was no yelling. She was not upset or anything; she just seemed to be a little depressed."
The teen had recently received a package from someone she met through social media, and authorities believe it's possible her disappearance is connected to that man.
"The person was posing as a friend that she met on social media. And I believe the person is much older," Hall previously told WWJ. "I do believe that she just met somebody and I believe that there had to be some degree of force."
While sightings of Amaria had reported Westland, on the east side of Detroit and in Warren earlier on in the investigation, nothing has come of those leads.
A cash reward of up to $10,000 is available for information on Amaria's whereabouts, as police and the FBI continue to investigate this case.
The missing teen is described as 5'6'' tall and around 150 lbs., with a light brown complexion. Her nose and ears are pierced and she has braces on her teeth. It's not known what she was wearing when she disappeared.
Amaria suffers from depression and anxiety among other ailments, and is without her much needed medications.
Prior to her disappearance, Amaria was student within the Gibraltar school system. She was very active in sports, a member of the robotics team, and studied the piano. When she graduates, Amaria aspires to become a social worker, her mother said.
Any small bit of information you may have could help see that this missing teen is safely reunited with her family.
