Modern-day Romeo and Juliet teens missing

MIAMI -- Two teens in love have disappeared weeks before graduating from high school in June.

Police believe Nicole Marie Dones, 17, and Jackson Wayne Powell, 18, decided to run away because of their families' disapproval of their relationship. They met while they were both juniors at Miami Palmetto High School.

"We just believe that it's a modern day Romeo and Juliet," said Miami-Dade Police Detective Edna Hernandez.
