Gabriela Medina was 17 and living in Naples, Florida, when she left her Mango Drive residence on August 11, 2006. Her aunt and guardian, Maria Garcia, saw her packing and watched her leave; there has been no confirmed contact since. Authorities describe her as 5 feet 4 inches tall, about 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. She may use the names Anna Gabriela Garcia or Gabriela Garcia, and alternate birth dates have been recorded.

Investigators believe she left voluntarily because of a documented history of running away, but her continued absence has prompted the Collier County Sheriff’s Office to keep the case open and classify her as an endangered runaway. An age-progressed photo has been produced to show how she might look as an adult. If anyone has information about where Gabriela went or saw her after August 11, 2006, please share what is known.
