Investigators describe Underwood as about 4 feet 10 inches tall and roughly 100 pounds, with hair recently dyed black. She was first reported missing on March 8, 2026, and was later found; authorities say she ran away again on April 14.
Anyone with information about Underwood’s whereabouts is asked to contact the George County Sheriff’s Office at 601-947-9156 or their local law enforcement agency.

George County is in Mississippi’s Gulf Coast region. Law enforcement often asks for public assistance in missing juvenile cases because prompt tips can speed safe reunification and reduce risk to the child.
