Missing South Jersey Girl May Be Hiding In Hometown, Police Say

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, NJ - A missing South Jersey girl who ran away from home this week may still be in her hometown, authorities said.

Jacquie Lynn Gregg, 15, ran away from home and was last seen at 2:30 a.m. Wednesday at her residence around Ferro Drive and Bethel Mill Road, according to the Washington Township Police Department. Multiple search-and-rescue teams have since searched for her on foot, in vehicles and via drones in the Hurffville and East Pitman sections of town.

“We believe she’s still in the Washington Township area and possibly being assisted with food and shelter by her friends,” Washington Township police said in a Friday update.

Authorities released surveillance video Friday depicting a white juvenile girl pedaling a bicycle up Egg Harbor Road headed towards Greentree Road Wednesday at 4:18 a.m.

According to police, the same girl shown in the video was spotted passing the CVS and again passing Sonesta Court on Egg Harbor Road. Gregg is “known to use bicycles to travel Washington Township,” police said, adding that Gregg has run away in the past on “several occasions.”

Police described Gregg as a white female who is 5 feet, 1 inch tall and about 120 pounds. She has hazel eyes and brown hair. Jacquie was last seen wearing a gray shirt with the letter "A" on it with dark pants.

Those with any information about Gregg's whereabouts or possible sightings are urged to call 911 or 256-1212.
