San Antonio Authorities Turn to the Public for Help in Finding Missing Teen Raynna Holloway
Hey San Antonio! We have some concerning news to share, and we really need your eyes and ears. A 16-year-old girl named Raynna Holloway has gone missing, and the authorities are asking everyone to pitch in to help bring her back home safe and sound.
What We Know So Far
Raynna was last seen on Saturday at around 2:10 a.m. She left her home, located near the corner of Walzem Road and Congressional Blvd., accompanied by an unknown male. There’s been a lot of chatter around town, and it’s important that we keep our eyes peeled for her.
In terms of her appearance, Raynna is described as 5 feet 4 inches tall with brown eyes and brown hair, which has some pink strands—so you might spot her from a distance. She was last seen wearing a grey hoodie featuring a Nike logo and blue jeans. If you happen to see someone who matches this description, don’t hesitate to reach out.
How You Can Help
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office is the team handling the investigation, and they are really encouraging anyone with information about Raynna to give them a call at (210) 335-6000. If you’ve seen her or have any clues that could help, please speak up! Remember, it’s illegal to harbor a runaway child, and such actions can lead to serious consequences including up to one year in jail and fines reaching $5,000.
Some Positive News
While we’re focusing on Raynna, it’s worth noting that there has been some positive development regarding other missing children in the area. The case of Cherie ‘Vonnie’ Yvonne Berry, a 15-year-old girl who went missing on April 4, has concluded with her being found safe, which is a huge relief for her family and friends. Cherie was last spotted near Shooting Quail and Heath Cir Drive, close to Jimmy L. Elrod Elementary. Her description included being about 5 feet 3 inches tall with brown hair and eyes. She was wearing a purple bonnet, black t-shirt, blue jean shorts and carrying a black duffel bag when she went missing.
The Ongoing Search for Lina Sardar Khil
On a more somber note, the search for Lina Sardar Khil, who went missing back on December 20, 2021, continues without any new leads. Can you believe it has been almost three years? Surveillance footage captured Lina at a playground near her home just before she disappeared. In February 2024, authorities received a tip regarding her whereabouts, but it turned out to be unsubstantiated. To keep her case alive in the public consciousness, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children released an age-progressed photo of what Lina might look like now. There is a reward of $250,000 for information leading to her return. Her family is continually waiting for any updates.
What You Can Do
Whether we’re talking about Raynna, Lena, or even Cherie’s past struggle, we all play a vital role in safeguarding our community. Let’s ensure that we’re vigilant and supportive. If you spot anything that seems out of the ordinary, do not hesitate to reach out to law enforcement. They are here to help, and together we can make a difference.
