PSLPD Urgently Seeking Public’s Help in Locating Two Missing Endangered Juveniles
PORT ST. LUCIE, FL – The Port St. Lucie Police Department (PSLPD) is urgently asking for the public’s assistance in locating two missing and endangered juveniles—17-year-old Alessadra McCann and 14-year-old Ava Jones—who were last seen together on the evening of June 14, 2025.
According to police, both girls were last seen at approximately 9:30 p.m. in the 700 block of SW Duval Avenue, a residential neighborhood located in the heart of the city. Investigators believe the two teens are traveling on foot and are in each other’s company.
The circumstances surrounding their disappearance have raised serious concerns for their safety and wellbeing, prompting authorities to classify this as a missing and endangered juvenile case.
Description of Missing Juveniles:
•Alessadra McCann, age 17
•Last seen wearing a black and multicolored t-shirt with gray or black shorts
•No known medical conditions reported, but authorities stress her age and the situation make her vulnerable
•Ava Jones, age 14
•Last seen wearing a gray sweatshirt, black pants, and fuzzy slippers
•Like Alessadra, Ava’s age and the unknown details of their disappearance have prompted heightened concern
Police say it is possible the girls left voluntarily, but stress that due to their ages and the unknown circumstances of their disappearance, they are considered endangered. Investigators have not ruled out the possibility that the girls may be trying to avoid detection, which makes it even more critical for the public to remain vigilant.
“We are doing everything in our power to bring Alessadra and Ava home safely,” a spokesperson for PSLPD said. “Their families are extremely worried, and we need the community’s help in locating them quickly. Any information, no matter how small, could be the key to finding them.”
PSLPD detectives are currently canvassing the area where the girls were last seen, speaking with neighbors, reviewing surveillance footage, and checking local businesses and transportation hubs for any signs of their movements. Flyers with the girls’ photos and descriptions have been distributed widely, and their information is being circulated through law enforcement databases and social media channels.

•Call 911 immediately
