The parents of a Filipino American teenager are appealing to the public for any information on the whereabouts of their daughter, who has been missing for three weeks.
Alvarado’s mental state: Portia also noted that her daughter had a previous episode of running away two years ago “for a few hours,” attributing to depression and anxiety. However, Alvarado reportedly underwent therapy at the time and completed high school as a summa cum laude.
“I hope this message reaches you wherever you may be,” she wrote in a post. “You are always in my heart, my sweet ‘Lee.’ Please know that you are loved unconditionally by us. We will never give up searching for you and always pray for your safe return home. If you can read this message, please come home.”
Investigation: Alvarado, now a freshman at Montclair State University, left behind her laptop, tablet, ID and ATM card, according to her parents. They have turned in her electronic devices to police in hopes of finding any relevant information regarding her disappearance.
Anyone with information regarding Alvarado’s whereabouts is urged to contact the Jersey City Police Department at (551) 227-8511.
