Bella Hinton, 15, was last seen at about 4:30 p.m. Saturday in the 2300 block of Pershing Street in Hollywood, authorities said. Hollywood police are asking anyone with information to help locate her.
The Hollywood Police Department is now seeking the public's help to locate the missing teen, as reported by WSVN. Investigators have not released additional details about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.
What Authorities Are Asking Of The Community
Police are asking anyone with information about Hinton's whereabouts to contact the department. The station's report said no further identifying details, such as a physical description or photograph, had been made public.
It remains unclear whether Hinton has since been located or whether the search is still active, as the station's report did not address the case's current status. Hoodline will update this story as more information becomes available.
Official reporting and alert guidance
The available official information does not confirm whether the Hollywood Police Department has issued a case-specific update or provide a public contact number for Hinton's case. The department's FAQ says there is no specified waiting period before filing a missing-person report. Separately, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement says Missing Child Alerts have specific criteria, including law enforcement's well-founded belief, based on an active investigation, that a child is in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury. The criteria do not establish whether an alert was issued in Hinton's case.
