CONWAY, Ark. — It's been more than 45 days since 14-year-old Tanvi Marupally went missing near the bus pickup area at her school in Conway, Arkansas, and there are still no publicly known leads as to where she went.
Tanvi's parents initially told the Conway Police Department that the Indian-American teenager might have run away from home due to fear of deportation, according to police. She had run away previously at age 11 when her mother was deported, but in that instance, she was gone less than a day and was near her house for the entirety of her disappearance, officials said.
According to CPD, Tanvi was last seen walking past her usual bus pickup area at Conway Junior High School on Jan. 17, 2023. When she did not arrive home by bus later that day, her parents contacted the police. She was not carrying any sort of trackable electronic device. But Steinbach fears awareness of the case has not sufficiently reached beyond the small town. She hopes NCMEC's latest effort will spread the word further.
Wallace told ABC News that she believes in the crucial period of the first two weeks of the case, CPD failed to address the teen's disappearance adequately. Arkansas State Police confirmed neither an AMBER Alert nor Endangered Missing Advisory were sent out in January, which Wallace claimed she begged the police for.
In an email to ABC News, Kanipe stated:"Typically when juveniles run away the incident is categorized as harassment.""Initially, we reported Tanvi as wearing tan pants based on a description given to us by her parents," Kanipe said."We later realized that Tanvi's parents were mistaken when we received footage from the school district, and we put out an accurate release with photos from the day Tanvi left school.
