What happened to Miya Marcano?

The 19-year-old Valencia College sophomore, disappeared on Friday, September 24, 2021.

She was last seen at around 5pm at the Arden Villas apartments in Orlando, where she lives and works in the building’s leasing office.

The teen was meant to catch a flight from Orlando to Fort Lauderdale later that night to visit her family.

While searching her apartment, authorities found that someone had blocked the door to her bedroom.

Even though the window in the bedroom was unlocked, the room was in disarray, and a bloodstain was found on her pillow, which sparked fears about Marcano’s safety.

The missing teen’s father said he spoke to his daughter on Friday afternoon but never heard from her once she finished work.

In his post to Instagram, he wrote: “Mimi, my heart is aching. I haven’t slept or eaten in days. Where are you baby??? Your whole family is here looking for you.

“We will not stop until you’re back home. I’m slowly losing my mind over here. Never have we ever gone so long without even a text message to each other.”

He continued: “If your able to read this message, please know that your Daddy and the entire world loves you. Please don’t lose faith. We will find you…. I love you always and forever!”

The investigation of Marcano’s disappearance continues.

“Her disappearance is suspicious and our detectives and the family members obviously suspect foul play,” Mina said.

“We are still doing everything possible we can to find her.”

Marcano was last seen wearing a red shirt, jeans and a black hoodie, according to the apartment complex where she also worked.

She is described as being five feet tall and weighing 130 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes.
