Missing Wayland Teen Could Now Be in Brooklyn

Wayland teenager Alexandra "Allie" Loftis was last seen on surveillance footage exiting a bus in New York City, but the NYS (New York State) Division of Criminal Justice Services – Missing Persons Clearinghouse states that Loftis might have gone elsewhere in the city — to Brooklyn.

Loftis' mother reported her daughter missing from their Wayland home on Friday, Nov. 4 at about 11 p.m. According to Wayland Police, Loftis' mother returned home from work that night to find her daughter gone. Police do not suspect any foul play; rather, they believe Loftis is a runaway.

A police press release said Loftis, 13, was seen walking to the MBTA station in Lincoln on Nov. 4. She was wearing a hip-length black jacket with a gray fur-trimmed hood, black UGG boots and jeans. She walked with one aluminum crutch, which she uses for a knee injury. Police later learned that Loftis purchased a bus ticket in Boston for a trip to New York City, where she was last seen exiting a bus at the Port Authority.

According to Loftis' poster provided by the NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services – Missing Persons Clearinghouse and housed on the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children Web database, she was also carrying a blue-gray backpack when last spotted. She has braces and pierced ears.

Wayland Police said Loftis has family members in New York City, though they did not suspect she went to visit them. As of Wednesday afternoon, Wayland Police said they have no new information to relay, but continue to work with the New York Police Department on the case.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Wayland Police at 508-358-4721 or the NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services – Missing Persons Clearinghouse at 1-800-346-3543.
