A West Brook High School student has been missing for nearly two months.
Autumn Rice, 15, was last seen Oct. 30, Beaumont Police said in a news release. Investigators described her as a biracial female with brown hair and hazel eyes, about
5 feet, 6 inches and weighing about 180 pounds.
“Early in the investigation, Autumn called her family from another state,” Beaumont Police Officer Haley Morrow said. “As soon as BPD was notified of this contact, the authorities in that jurisdiction were notified and one of our detectives responded to that location to attempt to locate Autumn.”
“She has not reached out to her family since that time,” Morrow said. “We believe Autumn is with an adult male.”
Autumn is listed as missing in several nationwide databases, Morrow said, adding, “We have received several tips [and] possible sightings of Autumn, have followed every lead to its end and will continue to investigate any new information.”
The Beaumont Police Department is asking for the public’s help to find Autumn.
Anyone with information about Autumn Rice is asked to contact the Beaumont Police Department at (409) 832-1234.
