Two teenage twin sisters from Detroit have been missing for more than three weeks.
On Friday, Detroit Police Department (DPD) told local station WWJ News Radio that investigators are still seeking information on 14-year-old Aniya and Anieca Ogden.
According to CBS News, police said the twins were last seen leaving their home in the 1800 block of Robson Street on March 8.
In two missing persons reports posted on Facebook on the same day, DPD said the girls were “gone [their] residence without a permit [together] and failed to return home.”
According to the post, both girls are 5 feet tall and weigh about 130 pounds. Both are black men with sandy brown hair and brown eyes, and Aniya was last seen wearing a beige tank top, shorts and orange Jordan sneakers. Meanwhile, Aniec’s clothing is unknown, DPD said.

Michigan investigators have dealt with a wave of missing persons cases over the past year.
Just last summer, newborn twins Montana and Matthew Bridges, then 14 days old, were reunited with their mother after they were allegedly kidnapped by two acquaintances.

In that case, the twins’ grandmother told CBS Detroit that her daughter met several women on Facebook who said they could help her with the newborns.
“She was just asking for a little help,” McDonald said. “They should help young ladies who just had babies with funds, gift cards, diapers, etc.”

Four suspects were arrested in August last year, according to police.
In January of this year, another teenager, 13-year-old Na’Ziyah Harris, went missing after getting off a school bus near Cornwall and 3 Mile Drive, the Detroit Police Department said in a bulletin at the time.

Na’Ziyah’s grandmother, identified by The Associated Press as Anette Harris, described her granddaughter as a “very sweet child” and said, “This is not her character.”
“I want my child home,” Anette said in a press conference at the time. “I ask in the name of Jesus and I believe that he will bring her home.”
Nearly two months later, Harris is still missing and DPD is continuing to search the area, the department told CBS at a March 12 news conference.
