Saidy Ramirez-Melendez was 17 when she was last seen on December 11, 2018, in Plantation, Florida. She was described as 5 feet 3 inches, about 160 pounds, with black hair, black eyes and a distinctive tattoo on her right forearm. An age-progressed image has been released showing how she might look at age 20.

Investigators believe she may still be in the local area or possibly the Tampa region. Her case is listed as an endangered missing person; despite efforts by law enforcement and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children there have been no confirmed leads and the circumstances of her disappearance remain unclear.

If anyone has information about where Saidy might be or remembers seeing her in Plantation or the Tampa area, please contact the Plantation Police Department or the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
