Oneida County Sheriff's Office Still Searching for Missing Teen

The Oneida County Sheriff's Office is still searching for a missing teenage girl and her family is also asking for your help.

Oneida County Sheriff Rob Maciol reached out to the public on social media Saturday morning to announce that his office needed help from those in the Vienna, New York area and beyond to locate a 16-year-old girl who got into a vehicle without her cell phone and has not been heard from since.

The missing teen has been identified as Lilianna S. Clark, 16, of Vienna. She was last seen wearing a white sweatshirt and tan sweatpants. Sheriff's Office officials say she was last seen around 11:45 p.m. on Friday, August 23, 2024, getting into an unknown vehicle without her cell phone. Maciol says her family has had no contact with her since she left and they are very concerned.

If anyone has seen Lilianna or has information regarding her whereabouts, you are asked to contact investigators at the Oneida County Sheriff's Office at 315-765-2226.

In the age of social media, there are many missing teen ads out there, but in some cases, they are not true or are hoaxes. Several agencies warn that if you see missing teen ads from neighborhood yard sale pages, they may be scams. Law enforcement ads, like this one, are the ones that are accurate. It is important to stay vigilant to avoid being scammed or tricked. It is important that we find the right way to publicize missing teens because this is a big and serious issue.
