NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office is working to locate a 14-year-old girl who disappeared last week.
Morgan Martin was last seen in Eureka on the evening of Friday, July 4, the agency reported.
At 1 p.m. last Saturday, July 5, the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office received a call from the girl's grandmother and legal guardian who reported that at 8:30 p.m. July 4 they were on Parkwood Boulevard in Eureka watching fireworks together.
The girl told her grandmother that she was going to visit a friend and walked off, and failed to come home, according to the report.
The grandmother searched for the girl until approximately midnight and checked with all her granddaughter's friends, finding out that no one had seen Morgan or had any idea where she was, the sheriff's office said.
Sheriff's officials said the grandmother is concerned not only due to her granddaughter's age, but also because Morgan has medical issues which require medication.
Morgan Martin is described as a white female, 5 feet 7 inches tall, with brown eyes and short strawberry blonde hair, weighing approximately 178 pounds.
She was last seen wearing dark yoga pants, a dark San Francisco Giants ball cap and pink blouse. Her hair was in a ponytail and she carries a flowered purse.
Anyone with information regarding this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriff's Office Crime Tip line at 707-268-2539.
