TRENTON -- Police are asking for the public’s help in locating a 16-year-old girl who has been missing for more than a week.
Jessica Tosco left a youth house where she was staying in Perth Amboy with another 16-year-old girl Aug. 13, and the pair came to Trenton, according to Tosco’s father, Thomas.
The other juvenile was picked up by police last week, but Jessica has not been found.
Thomas Tosco said there have been two reported sightings of Jessica, including one near City Hall, but that she has not attempted to contact any relatives or friends.
Jessica does not know anyone in the Trenton area and her family is worried about where she may be and who she may be with, Thomas said.
She is described as 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighing about 170 pounds with long, sandy blonde hair. She is fair-skinned and wears a gold chain and hoop earrings, and is probably wearing blue jeans and brown Timberland shoes.
Anyone with information about Jessica’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Trenton police confidential tipline at 989-3663.
