Detectives from the Montgomery County Police Department are asking for the public’s help to locate a Gaithersburg mother and her daughter who have been missing for three weeks.

Police and family members are concerned for Shania Hall’s emotional and physical well-being and are concerned for the welfare of the child.

Shania Zannette Hall, 19, and her two-year-old daughter, Bailey White, left home three weeks ago, and reported missing to police on Monday.
