She was described as a Hispanic female with red hair and brown eyes. She stands 5-feet-1-inches and weighs about 130 pounds.

"This juvenile is believed to have left of their own volition, and our investigators have tried to exhaust any possible leads before releasing this information," authorities included in their report.
