The story of a Radcliff teenager missing since late August has been featured in the crime section of PEOPLE magazine.
K105 first reported on August 28 of last year that 15-year-old Rosalyn Velazquez was reported missing by her mother on Monday, August 24.
Rosalyn was last seen by her mother at Azalea Park apartments, adjacent to North Hardin High School, between Hwy 31-W and the Joe Prather Highway, at approximately 2:30 the morning of August 24. She was wearing a blue jacket with a “crest on the right front,” according to police.
In the early morning hours of August 24, though, she told a friend on Instagram Live that she had taken some pills and was walking in nearby woods.
“My daughter did not take her charger,” Rosalyn’s mother, Sabrina Boozel, told PEOPLE. “She did not take her ChapStick, which she never leaves home without, and she did not take her earbuds that go with her iPhone, which she never leaves without. She did not take any money, because she had no means to money. She didn’t take any extra clothes, backpack, anything.”
A $10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the return of Rosalyn.
Rosalyn is described as a “Hispanic/white mix” with curly black hair and brown eyes. She stands about 5-feet tall and weighs 140 pounds.
Authorities said there is no evidence pointing to Rosalyn being abducted. Her mother said Rosalyn has “… indicated that she may attempt to harm herself.”
“We’ve exhausted all means so far trying to locate her,” Radcliff PD Capt. Willie Woods previously said, “and we haven’t heard from her. Nobody as far as we know has.”
