Alexia Nicole Peppers, 16, was last seen Thursday at her home on Pantherbrook Lane in Turnerville.
Standing 5' 3", and weighing roughly 152 pounds, Peppers was last seen wearing blue jeans, a dark blue T-shirt and white Vans sneakers with a blue and green flower drawn on top. She was also wearing a "tree of life" pendant at the time.
