Police in Bluffton, South Carolina are enlisting the public’s assistance as they seek to locate a juvenile who has been missing since the beginning of this week.

According to a flyer posted to social media by the law enforcement agency on Thursday (July 11, 2024), the missing juvenile – whose name and age were not released – was last seen after leaving her home on Monday (July 8, 2024).

The juvenile is described as a 5′ 5″ white female. She reportedly weighs approximately 130 pounds and has brown eyes and dark brown/black hair. According to the flyer, she was “last seen wearing a bathing suit with blue bottoms and a black cover up.”

“Her last known location was in the area of Cypress Ridge,” the flyer noted.

Cypress Ridge is located approximately seven-and-a-half miles west-northwest of the Bluffton city center – on the edge of the city limits and its developed areas and just south of the Sun City retirement community.

Here is the flyer …
