A family from the Boca del Rio area in San Pedro Town is seeking the assistance of the general public in locating their missing child. The missing teenager is 15 year old Stephanie Mejia who was last seen on Saturday night, March 24th in the vicinity of the Central Park.

Stephanie Mejia, 15, has been missing since Saturday, March 24, 2012 at 8:30PM.

Brother, Giovanni Mejia, 21, visited the San Pedro Police Station on Tuesday March 27th around 1PM to place the official missing person’s report. According to Mejia, his sister Stephanie went swimming with her aunt and other family members on Saturday afternoon. After spending the day at the beach, she returned home and informed her mother that she would need to meet with her classmates later that night to work on a school project.

She was last seen by her family around 8PM, when she left en route to the town core area, where she was to meet with her classmates. Giovanni states that he discovered from asking Stephanie’s friends that she left them around 8:30PM that night, en route to meet with some other friends to do her homework after which she was to head home. That was the last she was seen by anyone.

When she did not return home later that night, the family became alarmed and immediately started a search. As of press time on Tuesday afternoon, she has still not been found and there has been no information about her whereabouts. A concerned Giovanni told The San Pedro Sun, “She didn’t have any problems at home, she didn’t have any stress. I don’t know what to say. I hope she is alive and that we find her soon.”

Stephanie was last seen wearing blue shorts with a plain white blouse. She is described as standing about five feet seven inches tall, of medium build, with short black hair, brown eyes. According to her brother, Stephanie does not have a boyfriend as far as the family members are aware.
