A Florida teen mom has vanished with her six-month-old daughter, sparking an urgent search for the pair — who police say are “missing and endangered.”
Wilbelys Lopez Candelario, 17, was last seen Tuesday with her daughter, Marbelys Lopez, in Fort Myers, cops said.
Candelario was last seen wearing a black blouse and gray pants, authorities say.
Details surrounding the pair’s disappearance remain unclear. It’s not known where they may have headed.
“While the circumstances do not indicate that Wilbelys or her infant daughter are necessarily in danger at this time, their ages make this a matter of heightened urgency,” a Fort Myers police spokesperson told The Post.
“We want to locate both of them as soon as possible to ensure their safety and well-being.”
Sami Maddox, one of Candelario’s former teachers, re-posted the police appeal on her Facebook, urging her friends to share it.
“This is one of my former students,” she wrote.
Anyone with information is urged to call Fort Myers police at 239-321-7700.
