New details are emerging on the life of 15-year-old Marilyn Raley who has been missing since Sunday, August 4 in Bloomington, Indiana.

As we previously reported last Wednesday, Raley, a 15-year-old girl from Bloomington, Indiana hasn’t been seen since last Sunday when she was last located near Switchyard Park on the city’s southside around 10:30 pm.

According to reports, when she was last seen she was with two other females, and at this time we do not know the age of those females or more information about what occurred or why Raley met with the other females.

If you see her, she is 5’0 with blonde hair & hazel eyes.

She is five feet tall and weighs 80 pounds. She has hazel eyes and blonde hair; some red dye was left behind in her hair after turning trying to turn it blonde.

There are new details about who Raley is and how she was before she suddenly went missing.

According to several Facebook posts shared on many lost children pages along with missing person reports in the last few days, Raley’s sister Teiya Allen, gave the world new details on what else Raley could be wearing and doing.

In a post two days ago to Facebook, she said, “She has blonde/ strawberry blonde hair, Hazel eyes, very thin, and is 5’0 tall. She may or may not be wearing glasses too. She could be in Bloomington or anywhere else. Please message me and call the police as soon as you see her.”

More details have also emerged about what she was doing in school and what she was doing in extra-curricular activities while starting her school year at Bloomington High School South where she would have been a freshman at the school

According to Raley’s own Facebook page located here, she was reportedly going to school at Bloomington South and was going to start becoming an active member of the Bloomington South Women’s High School Choir this fall as a freshman at in high school before she disappeared.

Her only social media page is Facebook which is filled with violent and disturbing illustrations of her love for the controversial rock band, Insane Clown Posse. These images were shockingly posted around the time she would have been six or seven years old we cannot show you.

There is no word on if a parent or loved one posted to photos on her page, but the images may not have been her drawings and just Google searched photos or posted by a family member.

Her last Facebook post was posted on April 16, 2014, with the caption, “Have a safe Easter. I love and miss all of my family hope u all have a safe day.”

There has been no other posts made after this one in 2014, but one post from February 9 of that year said she was inviting a friend named Gavin along with other four friends and acquaintances to chat online.
