Missing Girl Dragged By Hair--A missing person case in Los Angeles is getting increasingly strange as witnesses to the crime now say the female subject was dragged away by her hair – and no family members have yet to report anyone missing.

Eyewitnesses who reported the events say the individual, who could be either a teen or a small adult woman, was pulled into the brush by a male subject who appeared to be between the ages of 16 and 18.

Prior to the incident, other individuals say a man and woman matching the description given by the witnesses to the attack were arguing verbally at a nearby location.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the missing girl dragged by her hair is described as 13 or older — and possibly a small woman — was reported kidnapped Monday night near a recreation center during an argument with a young man who may be between 18 and 20, police said. Sketches of both the girl and the man were released late Tuesday.

“That argument escalated to the point where the male struck the female at least once in the face and then began to drag her up into the brush area by the hair,” police Lt. Andy Neiman said.
The report sparked a massive search by the authorities, who have only confirmed they have found a pair of sneakers and a pair of leggings in the search area, and that witnesses saw the attacker remove some of the woman’s clothing, reports Police Chief Charlie Beck.

“My hope is that this was a dispute that was resolved in some way, but we have to treat everything like it’s the real deal,” Beck said at a news conference.

No reports of a “missing girl dragged by hair” had been filed, but the witnesses seemed credible, police said.

The search of the area continues Wednesday.
