“We have received information that she may be headed for New York, where she has a sibling also in foster care,” Sheriff Roberts said. “We are asking anyone who might recognize Shybera or have any information on her whereabouts to please contact us. She is not in trouble with the law. We just want to make sure she is not in danger or has been harmed in any way.”
