WASHINGTON — Two sisters from Southeast, D.C. have been missing since New Year’s Eve and police believe they may be together.
Paris May Williams, 11, and Laila Emoni McNeil, 7, were both last seen at around 4 p.m. Sunday on the 700 block of 12th Street in Southeast. The girls are critically missing because of the extremely cold weather, D.C. police spokesperson Sean Hickman said.

She was last seen wearing a gold and gray coat with black cuffs and gray Ugg-like boots with a fleece lining.
