Help sought to locate missing Bedford teen

Summer Patience Wyatt

TEMPERANCE -- Authorities are seeking help in finding a 15-year-old Lambertville girl who has been missing for more than a week.

Summer Patience Wyatt was last seen at the home of her mother, who called Monroe County sheriff's deputies after she had been gone for several hours. Family and friends have not heard from her since Feb. 20, when she went missing.

Detective Heath Velliquette said there is no reason to suspect foul play, but it has not been ruled out.

"We don't have anything to confirm that [foul play] is not what happened, so that is one of our considerations," he said. "This is uncharacteristic of her behavior."

A sophomore at Bedford High School, Summer is 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighs about 120 pounds. She has brown hair and hazel eyes. She has braces on her teeth, uses hair extensions, and wears piercings in her ears and navel.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Monroe County Sheriff's Office at 734-243-7070.
