Details Still Emerging on Timeline
Police have described Gorman leaving her residence on foot in the area of Conserve Avenue, but specifics beyond her clothing and physical description have not been released. The department has not indicated whether she was believed to be with anyone or heading toward a particular destination at the time she was last seen.
A separate update published by the same outlet, Fall River Reporter, describes a Westport case involving a 14-year-old also named Lilyana Gorman, reported last seen on a Thursday at 4:12 a.m. carrying a large duffle bag and a small black backpack, who the outlet reported had been located safe with help from the public. It could not be confirmed whether that report concerns the same person or incident described in the search for the 16-year-old, and this article does not assume the two are connected.
How to Help
For now, Westport Police are treating Lilyana Gorman as missing and are urging residents who may have seen her near Conserve Avenue, or who have any other information about her whereabouts, to call them directly. No further details about the circumstances of her disappearance have been made public.
