Police in Cleveland are asking for the public's help in finding teen Madison Rich. She has been missing for over 40 days.
The search began the night of August 14. Maddie was at home, but sometime in the early morning hours of August 15, she left. Maddie had left home for a few days in the past, but she had always maintained contact with friends via social media.
At the beginning of this incident, when her mother found Madison gone on the morning of August 15, she was worried but discovered her daughter was still communicating on social media.
For the next few days, Maddie communicated with friends via phone and Snapchat. Her family was able to track her on the 15th, 16th, and 17th. Maddie's mom became increasingly concerned because Maddie has medical issues that require medication, but her medication remains at home.
Every day since Maddie has gone missing, her mom Tracy has been posting to social media about her daughter and, thanks to a local company, has placed two large signs in her front yard. Each sign displays Madison's picture and information.
Lakewood police say when Madison Rich left her westside home in Lakewood, she initially stayed at a friend's home in Cleveland and communicated with other individuals via phone and Snapchat. On August 18th, Maddie left the friend's home, and law enforcement picked up her phone's GPS location in Warrensville Heights, Ohio.
Police tried tracking her phone after August 18 and determined the phone has been rendered inoperable, has been turned off, or the battery has died. Regardless of the reason, the phone has not registered with any cell tower since August 18.
Police have sent out a BOLO for 17-year-old Madison Rich. "Maddie" is 5 feet, 7 inches tall, weighs 110 pounds, and has blonde hair and blue eyes. She has a spider web tattoo on her right arm and a mole on the left side of her cheek.
Police are asking the public for help in finding Maddie, hoping to bring her home before her 18th birthday this month.

Carly Gregg is a good student but has had trouble at school. She briefly attends an alternative school after being caught with a knife. Her parents revoke her phone privileges after she breaks their social media rules. Friends grow concerned when they discover Carly has a burner phone and catch her smoking marijuana.
One friend distracts Carly while another informs her mother. Ashley Smylie confronts Carly after school, warning her that her room will be searched when they get home.
Ashley heads to Carly’s room while Carly takes the dogs out. Almost immediately, Ashley finds a box of THC vape pens. She takes the box to her bedroom before returning to continue the search. Carly comes back inside, checks on her mother’s location, and quietly heads to her parents' room. She lifts the mattress and retrieves her mother’s .357 Magnum pistol.
Immediately after the shooting, Carly uses her mother’s phone to text Heath Smylie, “You almost home honey?” Smylie replies that he’ll be home in about an hour. Carly then texts six friends, saying she has an emergency and needs someone to come over. One friend offers to call 911, but Carly declines.
Eventually, a friend agrees to come. When Carly answers the door, she asks the girl, “Are you squeamish around dead bodies?” and then leads her to her mother’s body in the bedroom.
Carly tells her shocked friend, “I put three in my mom, and I have three more waiting for my stepdad when he gets home.” She says he’ll arrive soon and asks the friend to wait in the backyard. Carly opens the garage door, goes back inside, and waits for Heath Smylie. The moment he opens the door, Carly fires at him. Smylie grabs the gun, and Carly fires two more shots during their struggle.
Smylie overpowers her, and Carly runs through the backyard, fleeing the home.

As Diddy sits in jail on federal charges, a twelfth victim has come forward with a lawsuit accusing Sean Combs of drugging and raping her.
Thalia Graves, who was dating a Bad Boy employee, says she accepted a glass of wine from Combs while riding in a car driven by his head of security, Joseph Sherman. Graves states she doesn’t remember passing out, but when she woke up, she was lying face down on a pool table with her hands tied behind her back, as Sean Combs raped her vaginally and anally.
Years later, Graves learned that Combs had filmed the assault and shared the video with others.
At the same time, speculation has arisen over what Sean "Diddy" Combs is eating in jail. Reports suggest he’s avoiding the meals provided by food services, fearing he could be poisoned. Former inmate Larry Levine suggests that Combs might be paranoid, but it’s not unreasonable to think someone could pay to have his food poisoned, potentially causing a heart attack.
Correctional officers don’t earn much, and those implicated in the alleged videos have plenty of money. However, Levine also notes a simpler reason: many prisoners simply dislike the food when they first arrive.
