Help Locate 17-Year-Old Emily Turner – Dothan, Alabama
A disappearance that brings fear and urgency
Missing person in Alabama. Emily Turner, age 17, vanished on November 30, 2025, in Dothan, Alabama. She was last seen near the 2200 block of South Oates Street sometime around 2100 hours, and since that moment, no one has heard from her. Her disappearance has created fear, confusion, and rising urgency within the community.
Because her clothing and direction of travel are unknown, the search becomes more challenging. That uncertainty makes every tip, every sighting, and every shared post even more important.
Who is Emily Turner?
Emily is described as 5’02”, about 120 pounds, with blonde hair and brown eyes. Her family describes her as bright, warm, and resilient. She loves music, spending time outdoors, and connecting with the people she cares about.
Her sudden disappearance has shaken those closest to her. Friends worry. Family members refresh their phones constantly. Everyone who loves Emily hopes for one message, one call, one sign that she is safe.
The last known moments
Emily was first reported near South Oates Street, but a second sighting placed her around the 2200 block of Ross Clark Circle. Investigators believe she may have been walking, though her path remains unknown.
Authorities checked the area, spoke with nearby residents, and searched surrounding roads and businesses. However, without a confirmed direction, the search radius continues to widen.
Because of this, community awareness becomes a crucial part of the effort.
Investigators continue their work
The Dothan Police Department is actively searching for Emily. Officers are reviewing surveillance footage, speaking with potential witnesses, and verifying leads. Although many details remain unclear, investigators emphasize that time is critical.
Families of missing teens often describe the silence as unbearable. Emily’s family feels that silence now. Her mother checks the window every few minutes. Her father drives nearby roads repeatedly, hoping to spot her. The fear grows heavier as hours pass without new information.
Why public awareness matters
A missing teen case relies heavily on community involvement. One person may spot her near a store. Another might remember seeing her earlier. Someone might find her backpack, notice her walking, or overhear useful information. These moments can break open a search.
Because Emily’s clothing is unknown, people must rely on her height, build, hair, and face. Her blonde hair and brown eyes may stand out. Her height and size may help someone recognize her quickly.
