UPDATE  |  After having been missing for two days, Audrey Hanna Askin is home safe, according to her family and Long Beach police.

Audrey, 16, was located Wednesday in the area of 14th Street and Redondo Avenue by the Long Beach Police Department. Police said in a statement that she was found in good health and has been reunited with her family.

Audrey’s father, Steve Askin, applauded the LBPD for their efforts in finding his daughter.

“The police department, particularly Detective Sargeant Robert Woods, were quick, compassionate and proactive in searching for and finding our daughter before any harm could come to her.”

Askin said Audrey was by herself and “suffered no harm except being cold and scared.”

DECEMBER 31  |  A Long Beach family is desperately searching for their missing 16-year-old daughter.

Audrey Hanna Askin was last seen at Long Beach Airport on Monday at about 1:30PM.

She was visiting her parents at their home in Rose Park, and was supposed to board a plane to go back to boarding school in Utah, but didn’t. She left her luggage behind after checking it in, her parents said.

Security camera footage showed Audrey visibly upset and walking out of the airport toward bus stops on Lakewood Boulevard. Her family said she had been in emotional distress.

“She is a young woman who lives with a high degree of anxiety, so she could have had anxiety about going back to school, even though she likes her school quite a lot,” said Audrey’s father, Steve Askin, adding that she was not on any type of medication. He said she has left for 30 minutes to an hour before, but has “never disappeared like this.”

The Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) said in a statement that Audrey has attempted suicide in the past via a drug overdose.

Audrey, who stands at about 5’5″ and weighs about 145 pounds, was last seen in an off-white hoodie sweatshirt and black sweatpants (possibly shorts) rolled up to her knees. Her nails were painted red, and she was carrying a large dark brown purse.

“We do not know where she could be, and as a young woman who could pass for being older than 16, obviously we have some worries about her,” said Steve Askin. “She must be suffering from a lot of anxiety, and she needs to be absolutely comfortable with the fact that her family loves her and they’re not angry at her. They just want her to come home.”

Anyone with information regarding Audrey’s whereabouts is urged to call her parents at 213-440-0189 or 562-631-0502, or call the LBPD at 562-435-6711.
