The Camden South Carolina Police Department is looking for assistance in locating Dakota Ray, 11/09/2015, of Camden, South Carolina. Dakota was last seen in Camden on April 15, 2018.

Dakota was removed from her parents care for safety reasons, however authorities have been unable to locate them. Information shows that they were at a gas station in Marshall, Minnesota on Monday and may still be in the state, possibly the metro area. They are believed to be traveling in a beige 1996 Ford Aerostar, pictured below.
