Milwaukee police said Cierra Warren was dropped off at MPD’s District 5 station just before 2 p.m. on June 4 after she’d been missing for almost 24 hours, FOX 6 Now reported. 

Warren, 6, was last seen at 3 p.m Monday at the spot where she’s normally dropped off by the school bus. When her sister arrived to pick her up, little Cierra was nowhere to be found. That’s when her father contacted police.

Marc Warren told WISN 12 at the time he had no idea where his daughter could be, but said he suspected a family member was involved.

“The school says the bus driver dropped her off and she got off the bus, and there was some young lady there that she ran to and hugged, and that was the last time I heard anything from her,” he told the station.

Warren’s name and photo were plastered across social media, and was also  shared by local media.

Police said Tuesday that although she’s been found safe, the investigation into her disappearance is still ongoing. Details about who dropped Warren off have not been released.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
