Authorities are searching for La'nya Brooks, a 17-year-old who has been reported missing and is classified as a runaway. The Pasco Sheriff's Office has issued an appeal to the public for any information that might assist in locating Brooks. The teenager is described as being 5’4", approximately 132 lbs., with black hair and brown eyes. Details surrounding the circumstances of her disappearance remain unclear.
Brooks was last seen near Rattana Ct. in the Wesley Chapel area yesterday, around midnight, as reported by the social media post from the Pasco Sheriff’s Office. The same post does not include information on what Brooks may have been wearing at that time, adding to the challenges faced by law enforcement and volunteers in the search efforts.
Members of the community with any knowledge of Brooks' whereabouts are encouraged to make contact with the authorities. The Sheriff's Office has provided a non-emergency line, 727-847-8102, option 7, for this purpose, and has also made available an online resource for reporting tips at their website. The ease of reporting online is hoped to facilitate more leads that could help in the investigation.
