Prosecutors are taking over the case of a 14-year-old New Jersey girl who has been missing for nearly a month.

Jashyah Moore, 14, was last seen around 10 a.m. on Oct. 14 at Poppie's Deli Store in East Orange.

Acting Essex County Prosecutor Theodore N. Stephens II called her disappearance "particularly troubling."

"Our society cannot ignore the fact that a 14-year-old girl, otherwise normal in all respects as far as we can tell, would disappear without a trace on a sunny day on a central thoroughfare," he said at a news conference Wednesday.
