Florence, South Carolina – Authorities in Florence County are asking the public to help find a missing teenager after she was last seen leaving her home Friday evening.

Investigators believe Kloe may have left her home voluntarily, but they are still working to locate her and confirm that she is safe. The sheriff’s office is asking residents, neighbors and anyone who may have been in the area Friday evening to pay close attention and share any information that could help bring her home.

Kloe is described as 15 years old, approximately 4 feet 10 inches tall and weighing about 100 pounds. She has blonde hair with dark purple streaks. FCSO also referenced an attached photo to help the public identify her.

The search now depends, in part, on information from the community. Even a small detail could be important, especially for anyone who may have seen Kloe leaving Somerset Place or traveling elsewhere shortly after 5 p.m. Friday.

Anyone who knows where Kloe Neal may be, or who has information that could assist investigators, is asked to contact FCSO Investigators at (843) 665-2121, extension 80427.

The sheriff’s office said callers do not have to reveal their identity to leave information. That means tips can be shared anonymously by people who may know something but do not want their name released.

As investigators continue their search, FCSO is urging the public to remain alert and report any possible sightings or helpful details as soon as possible. The priority is finding Kloe and making sure she is safe.
