Victoria "Tori" Brandenburg, 14, of Watsonville, was last seen by her boyfriend in the 100 block of Santa Cruz Avenue around 9:30 a.m., sheriff's Sgt. Chris Clark said.

The teen posted a photo on her Instagram account near railroad tracks in the area of the Seascape Beach Resort around 1 p.m., Clark said.

The girl is considered at risk because of her age, but the case doesn't appear to be suspicious, according to Clark.
