Two Lafayette Teenagers Missing After Last Being Seen in Shreveport, Louisiana Area

Lafayette authorities and family members are asking for the public’s assistance in locating two teenagers who have been reported missing since late Friday (March 22).

According to an update shared by Lafayette Police and originally posted on social media by Stephanie Causey, the missing teens have been identified as Khloe Somerville, 16, and her friend Natalie, 15. The girls were last seen around 10 p.m. in Lafayette and have not been in contact with family or friends since the early hours of March 23.

Investigators believe Khloe and Natalie may be traveling in a dark gray 2020 Kia Optima bearing Louisiana license plate number 302 HHV. There is a possibility that the teenagers could be in the Shreveport area, as the last reported sighting involved an acquaintance named Ethan, a Shreveport resident identified as the last known person to have seen the girls.

Family and law enforcement are deeply concerned for the teens’ safety due to the length of time that has passed since their disappearance. The Lafayette Police Department has confirmed it has been notified and is actively investigating the case, working closely with other jurisdictions to locate the teens safely.

Authorities urge anyone with information regarding Khloe Somerville, Natalie, the vehicle, or their possible whereabouts to contact the Lafayette Police Department immediately. Tips can be provided anonymously.

Louisiana residents from Lafayette to the Shreveport area are encouraged to keep their eyes open and report any sightings to authorities to help reunite the girls safely with their families.
