Concern grew for 15-year-old Essence Largent of Henrietta after conflicting public alerts about when and where she was last seen. One report says she was last seen in the vicinity of Whitney Street in Rochester on August 12, 2023, described as about 5 feet 3 inches and 90 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. A later alert gave a different timeline and description, saying she left her home in Henrietta around 9:00 PM on October 21, 2023, and describing her as 5 feet 6 inches, 160 pounds, with short brown/black hair and a nose ring.

Those discrepancies in last-seen date, location and physical details have complicated the public picture and the search across Monroe County. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office asks anyone with information to call 911. If anyone knew Essence, saw her in the Rochester or Henrietta area on or around the dates above, or has information that could help locate her, please come forward.
