Teen Run Away Found Dead In Nevada 2 Weeks After Thanksgiving

One of the two missing Ohio teens found dead in Nevada just days after her friend was found alive in California.

On Tuesday, Dec. 8, 15-year-old Kathryn McGuire was brought into a local hospital in Henderson, Nevada where she was pronounced dead at the scene. Police believe that on Thanksgiving, McGuire and her friend Haylie Vance, 15, ran away together from their Painesville, Ohio homes.

Vance was found alive on Friday, Dec. 4 by the Long Beach California Police Department. She confirmed to the police that “she and McGuire had voluntarily left the state of Ohio with their friend Aaron Larkin and all three of them had been in California for at least six days.”

According to police, 19-year-old Aaron Larkin who was also reported missing was last seen in Nevada with McGuire. Larkin has since been detained pending an investigation by the Henderson Police Department.

After receiving the missing person reports in late November, police said they, along with “multiple local law enforcement’s and the U.S. Marshals Service all followed many different leads, tirelessly trying to locate the whereabouts of the three missing persons.”
