Adriana M. Bejarano was 15 when she disappeared from her family home on North Charles Street in Ephrata, Pennsylvania, on November 28, 1988. That morning she was seen by her mother around 6:15 a.m.; her mother left for work and Adriana went back to bed. Her stepfather returned that afternoon and noticed the living room curtains still drawn, and the family reported her missing at 9:33 p.m.

Investigators found no signs of forced entry or a struggle. Adriana’s purse and bank funds remained at home, but her backpack and a change of clothes were missing; books from the backpack were on her bedroom floor. Friends said she had not appeared troubled or mentioned plans to run away. Police initially considered she might have left with an older acquaintance, but weeks later the case shifted toward a suspected homicide.

Authorities have identified a person of interest who no longer lives in the area but have not publicly named or charged anyone. Adriana’s parents believe she might still be alive and dispute that person’s involvement. Detectives have reopened and reexamined evidence using modern forensic methods; the investigation remains active.

If anyone knew Adriana, her routines that week, or has information about who she may have been with on November 28, 1988, please come forward.
