San Antonio Teen Bricia Roque Found Safe After Disappearance Prompted Intensive SearchSource: Facebook/Bexar County Sheriff's Office

Missing San Antonio teen Bricia Roque, 16, has been found, putting an end to a frantic search by local authorities and family members. The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office announced early Tuesday morning that Roque was located safely late on Monday, with the circumstances of her discovery yet to be disclosed, reported KSAT.

Last seen on Monday morning when she was dropped off at Harlan High School, her absence sparked immediate concern after the school revealed that she had not attended any classes that day. Originally, Roque's family expected to retrieve her around 5 p.m., but she did not emerge to meet them, leading to urgent inquiries about her whereabouts.

The teen's last known attire consisted of blue jeans, a brown top, accompanied by a grey sweater, and white shoes; her physical description posted across the community: a Hispanic female, approximately 5 foot 1 inch tall, weighing about 100 lbs, with brown hair and eyes.

While specific details surrounding Roque's return remain scant, the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, having previously believed that Roque might have been in the 78253 or 78254 ZIP code areas, urged anyone with potential insight to contact their office. A statement obtained by Fox San Antonio added, “Anyone with any information on her whereabouts is asked to call the Bexar County Sheriff's office at (210) 335-6000.”

The condition of Roque following her disappearance has also been held close to the vest, with officials yet to release further details on her state post-discovery.
