The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office has released identifying details for the two youths and is accepting tips by phone and email. Authorities warned that anyone who harbors or conceals a missing juvenile could face criminal charges.
Who is missing and where they were last seen
Serenity Love Bolden, 16 years old, was last seen on August 17, 2025, around 2:30 p.m. in the 12000 block of Alamo Ranch Parkway. She is described as 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing approximately 120 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair. At the time she was last seen she was wearing a white shirt, black Nike sweatpants and black Nike shoes. Serenity reportedly left the residence with a friend who had spent the night and may have been accompanied by another juvenile. Her cell phone was left behind, and her mother did not immediately realize she was missing.
Sophia Anaissa Trevino, 14 years old, was last seen in the 7700 block of William Bonney. She is described as 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighing approximately 110 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair. At the time of disappearance she was wearing a black hoodie and black pants and was carrying a black Jansport backpack. No specific time or date was provided for Sophia’s last confirmed sighting in the materials released by authorities.
Immediate actions and contact information
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office is requesting that anyone with information about either juvenile contact the office directly by phone at (210) 335-6000 or by email at [email protected]. Officials emphasized that tips from the public can be crucial to locating missing juveniles, and asked that callers provide any relevant details such as recent sightings, travel routes, vehicle descriptions, or communications with the juveniles.
Warning about harboring
Authorities stated that individuals who knowingly harbor or conceal a missing juvenile may be subject to criminal charges. Members of the public who encounter either juvenile should contact the Sheriff’s Office immediately rather than attempt to intervene on their own.
Additional update on two sisters
Separately, authorities provided an update that two sisters who had vanished from their bedroom were located. Their mother discovered their absence after waking; the last known sighting of those sisters was around 10:30 p.m. when they were observed going to bed.
