Stephanie Mejia

A family on Ambergris Caye is asking for public assistance to locate a missing teenager. Fifteen year old Stephanie Mejia of the Boca del Rio area in San Pedro Town was last seen last on Saturday night in the vicinity of the Central Park. Stephanie’s brother, Giovanni Mejia, told San Pedro Police that on Saturday, she went swimming with her aunt and other family members. He explained that after spending the day at the beach, Stephanie returned home and told her mother that she had a school project and needed to meet with classmates. Giovanni says that Stephanie was with her friends until about eight-thirty on Saturday night. She reportedly also told her friends that she had a school assignment; and that was the last time she was seen on the island. Her family has been looking for her, but has no clue on her whereabouts. Stephanie was last seen wearing blue shorts with a white blouse. She is described as standing about five feet seven inches tall, of medium build, with short black hair and brown eyes. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the fifteen year old girl is asked to contact the nearest police station.
