The girl left her home as a runaway and was last seen at the 500 block of NW 10th Street around 8:30 AM. She was reportedly carrying bags and her tablet, but left her cell phone behind. The exact identity of the driver and the details of the vehicle remain undisclosed. The police urge the public to check their security cameras and share photos of Mila, who is described as Hispanic with black hair and brown eyes, to help locate her.",
