MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. (WWSB) - Officials in Manatee County are looking for leads following the disappearance of two people.

Out-of-state family members reported 37-year-old Amanda Hutchins missing on June 26th, but none of them have talked to Hutchins since May.

She stands 5′6″, weighs about 130 lbs., and has brown hair with brown eyes.

If you have any information, you should call Det. Sands at 941-932-9312 or email [email protected].

But that’s not the only missing persons case making its way through Manatee County at the moment.

Manatee County deputies need help finding Faith Jones.

The 16-year-old said things to her family that made them think she could be a danger to herself. Witnesses last saw her on 35th Ave. in a long-sleeve shirt with black and red pajamas pants.

If you have any information, you should call the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office.
