In mid-October, 14-year-old Demiah Appling went missing from the area of Suwannee Gardens in Old Town, Fla. Since her disappearance, the community has shown tremendous support. “We want to thank the community for your outpouring of support and countless tips in efforts to bring Demiah home,” Dixie County Sheriff Darby Butler said. “We ask for your continued assistance until she is found.” Appling is Caucasian with brown eyes and brown hair. She is five feet tall and weighs 110 pounds. Appling was last seen wearing a black t-shirt, navy blue Nike slides and either pink and white shorts or Spongebob Squarepants shorts. Anyone with information about Appling’s whereabouts should call the Dixie County Sheriff’s Office hotline at (877) 464- 6982.
