She was reported missing by her sister on Monday. According to police, Serena told her sister she was going to head to the West Coast and 'sleep on the beach.'
Missing person at-risk
According to the police, Serena posted photos and videos of the coastline and areas possibly in Ocean Beach for some days on her social media accounts after arriving in San Diego. She was in contact with her family until January 13. "Due to the lack of contact and Serena never having been reported missing before, she is being considered missing at risk at this time," a statement by the police noted.
Serena Stevens is described as 5 feet, 5 inches tall, weighing about 140 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
An 'at-risk missing person' is someone, who might be the potential victim of a crime or foul play, or might be in need of immediate medical attention and has no pattern of running away or disappearing.
