Police Searching For Norcross Teen Missing For Several Months

NORCROSS, GA — Gwinnett County Police are asking for the public's help in locating Susana Morales, a 16-year-old Norcross girl police said has been missing since July 26, 2022.

Morales was seen wearing light blue jeans, a yellow spaghetti-strapped shirt and white crocs, police said in a news release Monday.

She texted her mom around 9:45 p.m. the night she went missing, saying she was on her way home, police said. She never arrived, police said.

Video footage from her cell phone shows Morales walking toward her home between 10:07 p.m. and 10:21 p.m. in the area of Windscape Village Lane and Singleton Road, police said. Though the footage shows her walking toward her house, police believe she may have gotten into a car.

Evidence from her cell phone shows her last known location was between 10:21 p.m. and 10:26 p.m. at Oak Loch Trace near Steve Reynolds Boulevard, police said, noting Oak Loch was where her cell phone either died or was turned off.

Police ask anyone with information to call Gwinnett County detectives at (770) 513-5300 or Crime Stoppers Atlanta at (404) 577-8477. Tipsters can be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000 leading to her safe return, police said.
