Winchester, Conn. (WTNH) - Police in Winchester continue to ask for help in the search for a missing teenage girl.

16-year-old Rhiannon Smith was last seen living her home around 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 1st.

Police say a bulletin on her disappearance is also being put out by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Investigators say the teen has unspecified psychological issues and does not have a driver's license. They believe she may still be in town.

When Rhiannon first went missing, a letter found at her home suggested that she may be traveling to Canada or Prince Edward Island because she believed that "an ex-lover" was coming from Florida to harm her or her grandparents, according to police.

Rhiannon is described as a white female, about 5 feet, 8 inches and weighs about 180 pounds with shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes.

Anyone having information on her whereabouts should contact the Winchester Police Department at 860-379-2721.
