Tahlia Poitra was reported missing last week.
(FOX 9) - Authorities are asking for the public's help to find an 18-year-old girl who was recently reported missing.
Tahlia Poitra was reported missing on Sept. 23, the Bemidji Police Department said on Monday. The agency said she was last seen about a month ago, while the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which sent out a statewide missing person alert for Poitra on Monday afternoon, said she was last seen on Sept. 21. It's unclear exactly when Poitra went missing.
Poitra is described as being a 5-foot-6, 125 pounds Native American with brown hair and brown eyes. She has a butterfly tattoo on her wrist and a scar near her left clavicle, authorities said.
Police say she could possibly be in the Brainerd area.
