UPDATE: Ashlynn Cox was found safe, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said.
An Amber Alert was issued for a 16-year-old girl who’s been missing for two days from Lake City, Florida. Authorities say she could be over 60 miles away from her home in Jacksonville with a 27-year-old man.
Ashlynn Cox was last seen Tuesday in the area of the 180th block of Southeast Beech Street, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said. She was wearing a yellow shirt, blue jeans, and white and lime Adidas shoes.
Cox is five feet and three inches tall with black hair and brown eyes, weighing about 150 pounds.
Authorities believe she may be with Jesse Hammersla, a 27-year-old man last seen wearing a blue plaid short-sleeved button-down shirt and blue plaid shorts.
The pair are believed to be traveling in a 2001 gold Toyota Sienna with a “9466AS” license plate number. The minivan has a dent on the front passenger side and a sticker on the bottom left and right rear windshield. The car also does not have hubcaps and the tires are all black.
Cox and Hammersla may be in Jacksonville, more than an hour away from Lake City, where she went missing.
Anyone with information on Cox’s whereabouts should call the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office at 386-719-2005 or 911.
