UPDATE: Missing Dorchester 14-Year-Old Is Found Safe


(UPDATE, Oct. 29: A social media post reports that Isabelle Magana, a Dorchester student, has been found safe.  She had been missing since mid-September.)

Norfolk radio station US92 reports that Saline County Sheriff’s officials continue to investigate the disappearance of a 14-year-old girl who is a student at Dorchester Public Schools.  But Sheriff Alan Moore says his office has no information to indicate that Isabelle “Izzy” Magana has come to any harm.

She was last seen in mid-September.  Moore says she may have left in the company of a 17-year-old male, identified as Brayan Arevalo.

Moore says his officers are continuing to work with family members of both youths, following up on leads regarding where they may have gone. But, he says there’s no solid information about where they may be.  Arevalo, like Magana, was also a student at Dorchester Public Schools.

Moore adds that his officers have been in contact with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, as the investigation continues.  He says his office has not received any tips on the whereabouts of the pair, from non-family members.

The sheriff says his office has not received any evidence of financial transactions that may provide clues as to where the youths have gone.

Isabelle Magana is described as Hispanic, 5-feet, 6-inches tall, weighing about 135 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair.  Brayan Arevalo is Hispanic, 5-feet, 6-inches tall, about 170 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information that may assist in the investigation, is asked to call the Saline County Sheriff’s Office, at 1-402-821-2111.
