Sherwana's mother, Wanda Carter, said she last saw her daughter when she checked on her before bed just after midnight on Wednesday. The next morning, the family woke up to find Sherwana missing from their apartment complex Cone Boulevard.
"I said, 'Sherwana stop playing, you are being silly, are you hiding?' And she wasn't hiding. I called 911 right away," said Carter. Sherwana Morris lives with autism and takes medications for diabetes and other medical conditions. She is also allergic to bee venom and sulfa drugs, according to her mother.
"She needs her medicines," said Sherwana's mother. "I'm very concerned she is out there without her medicines, very concerned."
Carter said her daughter has gone missing before, but only for 1-2 hours at a time. As of this article's publication, Sherwana has been missing for about 2.5 days.
After her daughter went missing, Sherwana's mother said she discovered a letter that appeared to be written by the girl. The letter told the family to not stress, to not coming looking for her, and that Sherwana was not coming back, according to her mother.
But Sherwana's mother says this behavior is not typical for her daughter, and she believes she may have been abducted or taken because of the time length.
