Search continues for teen girl missing since Dec. 1, last seen heading to Thermal
THERMAL, Calif. (KESQ) - The search continues for a teenage girl from Hemet who went missing in December.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) along with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI, are urgently asking for the public’s help to locate missing 17-year-old T’Neya Tova.
Tovar was last seen on December 1 heading to Thermal. Authorities believe she may still be in the Thermal area.
Investigators have since confirmed that later that day, she traveled more than 70 miles to Thermal and believe that she left to possibly meet up with an adult male.
Her mother says that she always shared her location with her mother and kept in contact with friends and that stopped the day she went missing.
Charro hopes T’Neya will see this message:
“T’Neya, we all love and miss you so much. We are thinking about you every day and will not stop searching until you are found safe. I need you to come back home to me.”
She is described as 5 foot, 6 inches tall, 129 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. She has a tattoo on her left hand.
If you have any information about T’Neya or her disappearance, contact NCMEC at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678) or the Riverside County Sheriff's Office at (951) 684-0911.
