SAN FRANCISCO -- Police in San Francisco have stepped up their search for an at-risk 16-year-old girl who was last seen on Thursday night at the Chinatown Him Mark Lai Library on Powell Street.
San Francisco Police have created a unified command post to try and locate Mizan Dadres-Oman, who is at-risk due to her age and a central auditory processing disorder that affects her logic and reasoning.
