Mooresville Police Department detectives are asking for the public’s assistance in locating a missing juvenile with a history of running away.

Courtney McMullen, 16, left her Mooresville residence around midday on November 18 and has not yet returned. Her father reported her missing on November 18.

McMullen had recently returned home on the night of November 17 by Huntersville Police Department officers after being found as a passenger during a stolen vehicle traffic stop.

Despite the work of MPD detectives, she has not yet been located again.

McMullen may be in the Huntersville or Cornelius areas, where she has been located during previous incidents.

McMullen is described as being 5-foot-2-inches tall and weighing approximately 120 pounds with mid-back length hair that was bright purple when she left her residence.

If you have information about McMullen’s whereabouts or if you see her, please contact the Mooresville Police Department at 704-664-3311 or Detective Saladino at 704-658-9023.
