The search for 15-year-old Coco Mastrangelo, who was reported missing from Miami Beach, has come to a close as authorities confirmed that the teen has been found safe. Earlier, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement had issued a Missing Child Alert when Coco was last seen this morning in the Miami-Dade County area, specifically the 100 block of Lincoln Road in Miami Beach, as reported by Local10.
Coco Mastrangelo's description was widely disseminated during the search effort, as she was identified as a 5-foot-4 teen, weighing 110 lbs, with brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a strapless navy top, white shorts, and sandals, and she may have been carrying a Lululemon reusable bag. Following her disappearance, the community and authorities alike were on high alert, urging anyone with information to contact the Miami Beach Police Department or the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
Fortunately, the Miami Beach Police were able to locate Coco sometime this afternoon, ending the urgent search that had commenced earlier today. The circumstances of her disappearance and how she was found haven't been detailed by officials. The brief duration of the period when Coco was reported missing reflected the quick response of the police detectives in the situation, according to WSVN.
Following the resolution of the case, the Missing Child Alert was canceled, as confirmed by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, signaling a collective sigh of relief amongst those involved. Details surrounding the discovery of Mastrangelo, remain limited but the main point across all reports is the positive outcome—Coco Mastrangelo has been found and is safe.
