An Alabama teenager who came to Iowa City earlier this month to visit family members is missing after police say he boarded a Greyhound bus to go home but never made a bus transfer in Davenport.

Donald Marshall, 16, is originally from Iowa City and recently moved to Alabama with family members, according to police. He was back in town to visit relatives and attend camp. On July 16, family members took Marshall to the bus depot in Iowa City, and he boarded a Greyhound bus to return to Alabama, according to police.
