Silvana Medoza-Juarez, 18, was last seen by family on July 5, 2023, in the vicinity of Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Her mother reported her missing to the Elkton Police Department on August 7, 2023, after several weeks without contact. The disappearance reportedly followed an argument with her mother around the same day she was last seen.

At the time she went missing Silvana was wearing a white sports bra and black or blue shorts. She is described as a Hispanic female with brown hair that may have had blonde highlights, brown eyes, between five feet and five feet two inches tall, and about 220 pounds. Distinguishing marks include nose and belly button piercings with silver balls or studs, scars on her left arm and upper right arm, and a birthmark on her upper buttock. She may have taken a plastic container holding two pairs of jeans, four pairs of sweatpants, and four hoodies. It was believed she might have been heading to Glasgow or the Summer Shade area of Monroe County.

The Elkton Police Department is investigating and asking for public help. If anyone saw Silvana around July 5, 2023, or knows where she might be, please come forward with information.
