Police in Cleveland are asking for the public’s help in finding teen Madison Rich. She’s been missing now over 40 days. The search began the night of August 14. Maddie was at home, but sometime in the early morning hours of August 15, she leaves. Maddie has left home for a few days in the past, but she has always maintained contact with friends via social media and in the beginning this time, when her mother finds Maddison gone on the morning of August 15, she is worried, but finds her daughter is communicating on social media.

For the next few days Maddie communicates with friends via phone and snapchat. Her family is able to track her on the 15th, 16th, and 17th. Maddie's mom is getting concerned because Maddie has some medical issues that need medication, but her medication is at home. Every day since Maddie has gone missing Mom Tracey has been posting to social media about her daughter and thanks to a local company has placed two large signs in her front yard. They each have a picture of Madison and her information.

Lakewood police says when Madison Rich left her westside home in Lakewood, at first she was staying at a friend’s home in Cleveland and communicating with other individuals via phone and snapchat. On August 18th, Maddie left the friend’s home and law enforcement picks up her phone’s GPS location in Warrensville Heights, Ohio. Police tried tracking her phone after August 18 and determine the phone has been rendered inoperable, has been turned off, or the battery has lost power. Regardless of reason, the phone has not registered with any cell tower since August 18.

Police send out a BOLO for 17-year-old Maddison Rich. "Maddie" is five foot seven, one hundred and ten pounds, blonde hair, blue eyes. She has a spider web tattoo on her right arm, and a mole on the left side of her cheek. They are asking the public for help in finding Maddie, in hopes of bringing Maddie home before her 18th birthday this month.
