Missing Girl Possibly in the Butler Area

WEBB CITY , MO - Webb City police are trying to locate 16-year-old Cheyenne Robinson, who was last seen about 7 p.m. Monday leaving her home in the 800 block of South Walker Avenue.

Robinson reportedly is not familiar with the area and has not been taking her prescribed medication, according to the Webb City Police Department.

Gerling said the girl has a short history of using both marijuana and the synthetic variety, known as K2, and has "experienced some heavy psychological blows over the years" which have led to mental issues.

Clay Gerling said his niece only took her cell phone with her -- no clothes ... she didn't even wait around to collect a $200 paycheck due her.

There has been some news - from Joe Park, Cheyenne's biological father - but Cheyenne's sister Megan Robinson said she wasn't going to put a lot of credibility into the message he sent to Gerling.

Megan and Gerling said Cheyenne has not had contact with Park for several years and yet, he supposedly sent Gerling a Facebook message at 12:04 p.m. Tuesday.

The message read, "Hi how u doing? I just wanted u to no that chey is fine she called me last night and sed she moved to butler mo and is happy and safe she is going to stay with a friend and there family she sed she is tired of being used and she sed she has never felt wanted or luved and she wants to start a new chapter in her life and find herself she wanted me to tell u she whould be in touch with you only so chill.

Attempts to contact Park by phone or through social media were unsuccessful.

Robinson is described as about 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing a little more than 200 pounds. She has shoulder-length blonde hair and blue eyes and was wearing a pink shirt, black shorts with a pink stripe, tennis shoes and a diamond-studded headband. Police said she has a scar on her right wrist.

Anyone with information about her whereabouts may contact Webb City police at 417-673-1911. For more information regarding this press release see “find Cheyenne” on Facebook.
