The Edmonton Police Service is searching for a 13-year-old girl that was last seen Friday morning.

She was reported missing by her family after she did not take the school bus home.

Later, family members found out that while she had taken the bus to school at 8:30 a.m., at her stop in the area of 131 Avenue and 91 Street, she did not attend classes all day.

Robyn Hanson, a close family friend for more than 20 years, told CTV News Edmonton that the girl's disappearance is out of character and family members are worried about her wellbeing.

"(She) is a pretty introverted kid," Hanson said. "She's quite shy and so she tends to hang around at home with family and friends."

Friends and family have started canvassing neighbourhoods across the city to share information about her disappearance and collect any potential tips.

"Not hearing anything from her is incredibly devastating," Hanson added. "Our hearts are just breaking waiting for news from someone."

Anyone with information is asked to contact EPS at 780-423-4567 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Tips can also be submitted online.

The missing girl has been found. Her name has been removed from the article in order to protect her privacy as the victim of a crime.
