Parents search for missing teen

The parents of a 16-year-old girl are asking for help from the community to locate her.

Pearl Lyle was picked up in a car from her home on Knik-Goose Bay Road between 5:20 and 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, said her mother, Shawn Kyle. Pearl is a special needs child, her mother said, adding that she is mentally about 12 years old.

“She’s very naive,” she said.

The teenager is 5 feet, 2 inches tall and weighs about 118 pounds. She wrestled for Wasilla High School.

Anyone with information should call the Alaska State Troopers, the agency in charge of the case.
