Elizabeth "Lizzie" Greenlee was in DFCS custody awaiting transportation to a juvenile facility when she ran away overnight. An employee of the Compassion House who was supervising Greenlee for DFCS reported her missing at approximately 3:00 am Monday when it was discovered she had run away overnight. Greenlee, who has a previous history of running away, apparently ran away from custody without taking any personal belongings with her and is not believed to have a cell phone. She has no known friends of family in the Dalton area. She was last seen wearing a black t-shirt and shorts. She is 5'3" tall and weighs 155 pounds. She has black hair and blue eyes. She has a "444" tattoo on her upper right thigh and a sad face symbol tattooed on her left middle finger.
