LUTZ, Fla. — Taylor Farias has been located and is safe, according to the Pasco Sheriff’s Office.
ORIGINAL REPORT: A multi-state search is underway for a 17-year-old girl who vanished from Pasco County more than three months ago.
Taylor Farias was last seen on March 4, 2026, in Lutz, Florida. Since her disappearance, investigators have been working to track down leads that now stretch from the Tampa Bay area up to the Northeast. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) is working alongside local law enforcement to appeal to the public for any information that could help bring her home.
Authorities describe Taylor as 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing around 135 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
While she went missing from Florida, police believe she might still be in the state or could have traveled to Mahwah, New Jersey, or New York City.
Anyone who has seen Taylor or has information regarding her disappearance or whereabouts is urged to contact NCMEC at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678) or the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office at (727) 847-8102.
