Investigation details and timeline
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Missing Persons Detail is seeking public assistance after family members reported Alyssa Miller missing earlier this month. According to a Sun., Feb. 15 alert reported by MyNewsLA, Miller was last seen on Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2026, near the 16100 block of Harvestmoon Street in La Puente.
Family members say they last heard from her on Feb. 14 at about 12:08 p.m. and have grown increasingly worried about her safety and health. Investigators have released a physical description — White female, 5’4″, 180 lbs., brown hair, brown eyes — and the clothing she was wearing when last seen: white T‑shirt and blue jeans.
“Because Miller has diminished mental capacity and a medical condition that requires regular medication, locating her is time‑sensitive,” officials said.
Law enforcement outreach and how the public can help
The LASD Missing Persons Detail asks anyone with information to call (323) 890‑5500. Those who prefer to remain anonymous can use Crime Stoppers at (800) 222‑TIPS (8477), use the P3 Tips mobile app, or submit information online via the Crime Stoppers site. Authorities emphasize that even small details — travel sightings, social media messages, or information about possible travel plans to Buffalo, New York — should be reported.
Investigative avenues being pursued
While the LASD has not released exhaustive details about the search strategy, investigators typically check local hospitals and clinics, interview friends and acquaintances, review transit and cross‑country travel records, and canvass neighborhoods where the person was last seen. Given the reported possible destination of Buffalo, New York, authorities may examine rideshare and bus routes, flight and intercity bus manifests, and social media activity for clues.
Why the case is urgent
Miller’s medical needs create immediate concern. People with diminished mental capacity may be unable to communicate their identity, residence, or medication requirements. If medication is missed, someone with certain health conditions can face rapid deterioration — making timely public tips crucial.
Community response and safety reminders
Local residents can assist by:
- Checking recent social media photos for unfamiliar faces matching the description.
- Reviewing doorbell and security camera footage from Feb. 10 onward.
- Asking neighbors and nearby businesses if they noticed someone who appeared disoriented.
- If you see Miller, do not attempt to confront or detain her; instead call the LASD Missing Persons Detail or 911 if she appears in immediate danger.
Privacy and safety for families
The LASD’s public release provides only basic identifying details to maximize the chance of a swift recovery while protecting the dignity of the missing person. Anyone wishing to help should forward credible information through official channels only.
