A 16-year-old DeLand girl has been missing for more than a week, and the Volusia County Sheriff's Office is now asking the public for help finding her. Jazmyne Walters left her home on Tuesday, Nov. 3, and has not been seen since.
According to a notice posted by the sheriff's office and reported by WFTV, Walters left her DeLand home that day and has not returned. The sheriff's office is requesting public help locating her, though the notice did not include a physical description, clothing details, or the time she was last seen.
How to Help Investigators
Anyone with information about Walters' whereabouts is asked to email two investigators directly: [email protected] or [email protected]. The request for tips came straight from the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, per the same report.
No further details about the circumstances of her disappearance, including what may have prompted her to leave or where she was last seen, have been released. The case remains active, and no update on her status had been provided as of publication.
A Recent Case With a Happier Ending
Missing-teen cases in Volusia County don't always end in uncertainty. Just last year, the Daytona Beach Police Department reported that a 13-year-old girl who had been reported missing was found and located safe and sound the same day, according to mynews13.com. That case offers a reminder that these situations can resolve quickly, though officials have not indicated whether Walters' case will follow a similar timeline.
For now, the sheriff's office is relying on the public to help close the gap. Anyone with information is urged to reach out to investigators at the email addresses provided above.
