VIDALIA — Area police are still searching for the 13-year-old who ran away from her grandmother’s Natchez house on Sunday.

After more than 48 hours of searching for the teen, Texas native Eriontae Smith, investigations to where the teen is located are still ongoing, and are now entering day four.

VPD juvenile investigator Renda Singleton said VPD received information that Smith was at a housing area in Ferriday.

Officers checked the area and did not find Smith, Singleton said.

Singleton said officers are unsure if Smith is in Mississippi or Louisiana.

“We do not know,” she said. “We are just doing what we can right now to locate her.”

Singleton said the next step the VPD is going to take is contacting the A Child is Missing program.

“We are going to be checking with them to see what we can do next,” she said.

According to reports from both departments, Smith was in town visiting family for the holidays when she got into an argument with her mother, Sonji McKinney, Sunday morning.

Smith told McKinney she did not want to go back to her dad’s house in Texas.

When Smith’s stepmother arrived at the residence to pick her up, Smith reportedly jumped out of the bathroom window and ran away.

Smith was last seen leaving the Maple Street house at approximately 9:30 a.m. Sunday.

According to VPD reports, this is the second time the teen has run away.

Smith’s father brought Smith to Natchez from Texas to visit her mother for Thanksgiving and was going to pick her up Sunday to take her back.

Smith is a black female approximately 5 feet tall and approximately 110 pounds.

She was last seen wearing a gray shirt, gray jacket, red High School Musical sleeping pants and a blue bandana.

Anyone with any information regarding the whereabouts of Smith can contact the NPD at 601-445-7511 or the VPD at 318-336-5254.
