Family to Hand Out Fliers for Missing Hazelwood Teen
Shemika Cosey disappeared from her relative's home three years ago when she was 16 years old, but family urges people to keep an open eye for her.

Hazelwood teenager Shemika Cosey disappeared from her relative's home three years ago when she was 16 years old. Leads have led to dead ends, but family members hope someone can help find her.Â
So Wednesday they’re going to hand out fliers of the missing teen until 2 p.m. at Airport Road and Fay Drive in Berkeley. They want to ensure that her face and case isn't forgotten. The handout site is an intersection near where Cosey disappeared on Dec. 28, 2008.
KSDK reports that police say there was no evidence of foul play, and that all their leads have been exhausted. But at the end of the day there is still a missing person not accounted for so the family urges people to continue to look for her face.
