Skylee Anne Merino, a 15-year-old from Coral Springs, Florida, has been missing since the early morning of April 21, 2026. She was last seen about 3:22 a.m. near 6200 Turtle Run Boulevard; her family says she was picked up from home around 3:23 a.m. and later believed to have been dropped off at Cypress Commons Plaza in Tamarac about 8:30 a.m. to meet an unknown male she connected with on Snapchat. That man reportedly told Skylee not to follow him on social media, which has hindered identification.

Skylee is 5 feet 4 inches, 110 to 120 pounds, with brown eyes, black hair and braces. She left her primary iPhone and Apple Watch at home; family members think she may have had an older iPhone SE with her. Her last known social media activity was about 4 p.m. on April 21. The Coral Springs Police Department has classified the case as a juvenile runaway but say they are investigating as if she were in danger and have assigned a detective to follow leads. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children issued alert number 2085248.

Investigators believe Skylee may still be in Coral Springs or in nearby Tamarac while they work to identify the Snapchat contact. If anyone has information about Skylee’s whereabouts, please contact the Coral Springs Police Department at 954-344-1800 or Detective Daniel Powers at 954-346-1223.
