Police are once again reaching out to the public for help in their search for a 14-year-old girl who disappeared in Wilmington earlier this month.
Adriana Sarah Gonzalez-Rugama was last seen on Sept. 7 near the 1300 block of Figueroa Place.
“It is believed that Adriana may be with a 41-year-old male, either in Los Angeles or the Dallas, Texas area,” the Los Angeles Police Department stated in a news release first issued on Sept. 12 but redistributed Tuesday.
Gonzalez-Rugama’s mother reported the teen missing after it was discovered she had packed her belongings and left her residence, police said.
Gonzalez-Rugama was described as having brown hair, which may have been dyed red, and brown eyes. She weighs about 136 pounds and stands 5 feet 1 inch tall.
The teen, who is new to the Wilmington area and city of Los Angeles, was last seen wearing a pink top, blue jeans and white shoes.
Anyone with information regarding Gonzalez-Rugama’s whereabouts was asked to call detectives at 310-726-7941. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
