UFC Heavyweight Star Walt Harris' Daughter Remains Missing As Car Found With Scrapes

UFC heavyweight fighter Walt Harris is begging the public to assist in locating his missing 19-year-old stepdaughter Aniah Haley Blanchard after Auburn Police confirm that her vehicle was located Friday in Montgomery, Alabama.

Auburn police reported that Aniah was last heard from shortly before Wednesday midnight from a friend on the phone.

The college student was last seen on October 23rd driving her black 2017 Honda CR-V. As part of an ongoing joint investigation, Auburn Police and Montgomery Police released a small segment of security footage that displays Aniah making a purchase at a convenience store that's located on South College Street. She then proceeded to go southbound.

Angela Haley-Harris, Aniah’s mother, said her daughter had driven from Auburn to North Alabama with her brother to attend a funeral that morning, NBC News reported. She added that Aniah told a friend that she was going to meet a young man that she had just met that Wednesday night.

However, the young man’s identity remains unknown. Upon investigation, Aniah’s debit card records show that her last transaction was at a convenience store located on South College Street. Her phone went off three minutes before midnight.

She was then reported missing by her family on Thursday.

Aniah’s stepfather Walt Harrris shared photos of Aniah on his social media page on Thursday, urging his 30,000 followers to share in hopes of obtaining any information.

"Please help find my baby Aniah Blanchard. She is missing [in] Auburn," Harris tweeted. "Please help!!!! Any info message me on here or call the Auburn police. PLEASE SHARE THIS!!!!"

The Auburn Police Department released a statement announcing that on Friday shortly after 6 pm, a local resident found Aniah’s car at a Montgomery apartment complex on Boardwalk Boulevard.
