I’m desperately looking for my sister, Zara Patel, who’s been missing since yesterday around 7:15pm. She’s about 5'2", around 110 pounds, with long black hair usually worn in a messy ponytail and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a bright red hoodie, gray jeans, and white sneakers, and she was carrying a blue backpack with a white star patch. I last saw her near the Target on Dowlen Road in Beaumont, just off I-10, about a block from the mall area. She has a small scar under her left eyebrow and a faint compass tattoo on her right wrist—easy enough to spot if you know her. It’s really scary; she’s only 17 and has never wandered off before. If you spot her, please get in touch right away.
