Lewiston police search for missing 16-year-old girl


LEWISTON, Maine (WGAN) Police in Lewiston are asking for the public’s help finding a 16-year-old girl who they say is a severe diabetic.

The Lewiston Police department is looking for Malika Ragon-Wright. They say she failed to return to a group home on Pond Road in Lewiston. She is a severe diabetic and requires daily insulin.

She was last seen on Thursday, September 5th when she left Lewiston High School. Ragon-Wright’s mother lives in South Portland so there is a chance she may be in the South Portland or Portland areas.

Police say there’s no indication she is a danger to herself or anyone else but the concern exists due to insulin dependency and the fact she is a juvenile.

If anyone knows the whereabouts of Malika, they should call the Lewiston Police Department at 207-784-6421
