FOREST LAKE, Minn. — The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) has issued a missing person alert for a teenage girl from Forest Lake.
Officials say Desiray Kappes, 14, was last seen "leaving her residence on a bike" on Friday around 8:30 a.m. The BCA says Kappes' destination was unknown at the time.
Kappes is described as 5 foot 6 inches tall with brown hair and eyes.
Forest Lake Police Captain Greg Weiss says investigators are running down between 15 and 20 tips that came in overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday, adding that there doesn't appear to be a common denominator in terms of location or scenario. The captain says this behavior is uncharacteristic of Desiray, according to her mother.
Weiss shared that five Forest Lake officers are working the case full time, along with deputies from Washington County and agents from the BCA.
If you have seen or know where Desiray Kappes is, call 911 or the Forest Lake Police Department at 651-439-9381.
