A missing Miramar woman’s family asked the public for help. The public came through
THURSDAY UPDATE: Courtney Babb has been found and reunited with her family. Miramar police said someone called a TV station with a tip after seeing her photo on the news.
Tuesday, with a tone reflecting her continued agony, Babb’s Roberta Robinson asked the public through assembled media: “I want someone, if you’ve seen her, please have someone call because I really miss her.”
Robinson’s daughter turned 30 between disappearance and being found. Tuesday marked a month since Babb’s roommate reported her missing, which is why family members spoke to the media at Miramar police station that morning.
Babb hadn’t been seen since April 10, when she was on foot with a black backpack in the area of University Drive and Pembroke Road.
Babb stands 5-foot-5 and weighs around 120 pounds. A 2017 arrest report says she used the name “Melissa Allen” during an arrest for trespassing trespassing arrest at Sawgrass Mills when she was allegedly sleeping outside of a business. All charges were dismissed.
“She has some mental health issues, so she’s probably not doing 100% well right now,” Babb’s aunt, Nichole Dagle said Tuesday.
Miramar Det. Susan Smith said, ““We know sometimes vulnerable people are taken advantage of, sometimes end up in situations that are hard for them to get out of without assistance. That’s what we’re looking for today.”
