Law enforcement agencies in two Bay area counties are asking residents to keep their eyes open for two missing teenagers.

Erika Rodriguez, 14, of Holiday was last seen at her home on Westchester Drive Saturday night around 11:30 p.m. Rodriguez’s boyfriend, Caleb Bagnall, 13, was reported missing from his home near Dale Mabry and Lois in Tampa early this morning.

Pasco deputies say Rodriguez has a mole on the left side of her forehead that is red in color. She also has “scars on both arms, under her armpits and on her upper thighs” the agency wrote in an email to media.

Tampa Police say Bagnall has threatened to harm himself, while Pasco deputies say the same of Rodriguez.

Rodriguez left home after taking $200 from her mother’s purse, the Pasco email stated.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has issued a missing child alert for Rodriguez. She is described as being about 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighs 120 pounds. She has auburn hair and light grown eyes. Bagnall is 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighs about 130 pounds. He has brown hair.

Anyone who sees the two is asked to contact local law enforcement.
