Lorena Gabriel Jimenez, 15, disappeared from Culpeper, Virginia on October 28, 2022. She has black hair, brown eyes, and was described as between 5 feet and 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing about 105 to 115 pounds. Lorena was last seen at her aunt’s house, who was also her sponsor, and left the residence before being picked up by a friend.

Culpeper Police classified her as a missing runaway juvenile and reported she might have been traveling to an unknown city in South Carolina. There were unconfirmed reports she may have left in a white Suburban-style vehicle with her boyfriend. Her disappearance is one of several cases involving missing Hispanic teenagers in the Culpeper area, raising concerns about possible labor trafficking and exploitation of vulnerable minors.

The investigation is active and agencies including the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children are seeking information. If anyone knew Lorena, her movements that day, or has information about a white Suburban-style vehicle, please come forward.
