Loved ones are searching for a Southern California girl who has been missing for over two months.
T’Neya Tovar, 17, was reported missing on Dec. 1, 2025, in the city of Hemet in Riverside County, according to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
Detectives said she had traveled more than 70 miles to Thermal that day, reportedly to meet an unknown man.
The girl’s mother, Charro Tovar, said the teen would always share her location with friends and family members, but on the day she went missing, all communication had stopped.
