Police asking for help in search for missing West Rockhill teen
Police are looking for a 16-year-old West Rockhill girl who has been missing for a week.
Geyahna Medwatz, who also goes by the name "GG" left her home on Lower Rocky Dale Road between the hours of midnight and 6:30 a.m. on Thursday, March 21, according to Pennridge Regional Police.
Police said a search of the home showed that most of her personal belongings are still in her bedroom. It is believed that Medwatz has a deactivated cellphone that she has used in the past to communicate on social media.
"GG has a history of mental health concerns and is believed to not have taken her medication for several days now," police stated Saturday in a release.
"There is some concern for her wellbeing based of comments she made earlier in the day on March 20th 2024 while at school about harming herself. But according to family she was in good spirits the night before she went missing. It is also unknown what clothing GG was wearing when she left."
Medwatz is described as 5 feet, 5 inches tall, weighing 150 pounds and having brown hair and brown eyes.
Police released additional information Monday about a video obtained during the investigation from a neighbor showing a vehicle stopped in front of the Medwatz home between 2:36-3:05 a.m. on March 21.
At approximately 2:50 a.m., police said a figure with a flashlight, who they believe is Medwatz, appears to walk from the home. The video then shows the vehicle driving away towards Upper Rocky Dale Road.
Police were unable to determine the make or model of the vehicle.
They are asking for assistance from residents living in the area of Lower and Upper Rocky Dale roads — including homes on Allentown, Thousand Acre, and Ridge Valley roads and the surrounding area — who have Ring cameras or other home security systems, to look through any recordings between the hours of 2-3:30 a.m. on March 21 for any vehicles that could be traveling to or from the area of Lower and Upper Rocky Dale Roads.
In addition, if anyone has had contact with Medwatz or sees activity on her social media profiles, please notify the Pennridge Regional Police at 215-257-5104 or use the tips section of the Crimewatch app.
