Teenager Visiting South Jersey From Trinidad Is Missing: Police

Police are asking for the public’s help finding a teenager from Trinidad who was visiting family in South Jersey and has gone missing.

Sikose Joseph, 14, is described as a black female, standing about 4’6,” and weighing about 150 pounds. She was last seen wearing dark pants and a light colored shirt, carrying a large black backpack and a large pink bag. Her image is attached to this post.

Joseph was visiting family in Glassboro, police said. She left the home at about 11 p.m. on Oct. 2, and was last seen walking north on Main Street from High Street a few minutes after leaving the home.

Police believe she willingly left the house, taking a significant sum of cash, because she didn’t want to return to Trinidad. She doesn’t have a cell phone and she left her passport behind.

She doesn’t have any close friends in the area, no known social media accounts, and police didn’t know where she was headed. They did say she has family in the New Brunswick and Newark areas, and those family members were told to be on the lookout.

Anyone who sees Joseph or has any information on her whereabouts is asked to call the Glassboro Police Department at 856-881-1500 or dial 911. Anonymous tips can be submitted by texting “GLASSPD” and your tip to 847411 (tip411).
