Nykotah Dunham, aged 12, was last seen at an address on Martins Crescent, Blacktown, at around 5.15pm on Thursday.
When she couldn’t be found, police were called and tried to locate her whereabouts. Today, a geo-alert text was sent out to people in the area where she went missing, in the hopes of finding her.
According to police, Nykotah is described as being of Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander appearance, of a thin build, with short black hair and brown eyes.
She is 150cm tall and was last seen wearing a blue jumper, black tracksuit pants, and blue hi-vis shoes.
Police hold serious concerns for Nykotah given how young she is.

The call out comes a week after police asked for public assistance in the search for another missing teen.

CCTV shows haunting footage of the teenager walking alone at night down an empty road, illuminated by a street lamp.
Tatnell hasn’t been heard from or seen since that night.
