– The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in locating a missing at-risk juvenile, 16-year-old Navada Austin.
Navada was reported missing on July 10 from her residence in Nipomo. She was last seen leaving the area around 11:15 a.m. that day.
She is described as a white female, 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing 135 pounds, with green eyes and brown hair. She has a light complexion and was last seen wearing a black jacket, black pants, and carrying a black backpack. She also has a nose ring.
