MARIPOSA COUNTY – A teen missing out of Mariposa County was last reported seen in the Manteca area and may be headed to San Francisco, relatives say.

Emillie Miller is 13 and was riding a black pocket bike Tuesday afternoon in the area of Wards Ferry Road in Tuolumne County. Witnesses indicated it appeared her bike had broken down and she took a ride from someone in a white pickup headed toward Sonora.

Emillie has two black eyes and a broken nose suffered during a vehicle collision June 23rd. A witness in the Spreckels Park area in Manteca noticed this and reported seeing Emillie near the Home Depot there.

Emillie’s family believes she may now be using makeup to cover up her injuries and possibly sold the pocket bike to buy a change of clothes. They believe she may be headed to the San Francisco area and might not be thinking clearly because of her injuries.

She was last seen wearing a light gray shirt and blue jeans. Her shoes are black with white soles. She is 5’3” tall with brown hair and eyes. Missing persons reports were filed in both Tuolumne and Mariposa Counties.

Relatives are urging anyone who may see Emillie to call 911. Relatives can also be reached at (209) 878-3760 or (209) 316-8797.
