Missing person: 24-year-old woman Priya Patel
Description
I lost my sister Priya Patel yesterday around 7:15pm near the Bank of America building on Riverside Ave in downtown Jacksonville. She’s about 5'4", slim, with shoulder-length dark brown hair and olive skin. She was wearing a tan trench coat, a blue backpack with a white wave pattern, and black sneakers. Priya has a small crescent moon tattoo on her inner left wrist and wears a silver pendant necklace. This is really hard for our family—she means the world to us, and she has sentimental value that makes this frightening. If you spot her, email me at [email protected] with any details.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
