Jayden is 5 feet, 1 inch tall and weighs 110 pounds, with blue eyes and blonde hair. Karla is 4 feet, 11 inches tall and 90 pounds with blue eyes and brown hair.
Because of their age, deputies said in a statement the length of time the two girls have been missing, along with the fact they haven’t attended school, has concerned law enforcement for their safety.
Anyone with knowledge of Karla’s whereabouts is urged to call 911.
