An Amber Alert has been issued in Sinaloa, Mexico after 17-year-old Shelbie Lynn Dwyer went missing, according to Mexican officials. The teenager is considered to be at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Sinaloa State Prosecutor’s Office has issued an Amber Alert stating that Shelbie Lynn may have been last seen at a cyber and stationery store in Guamuchil city on March 31. However, there is no additional information regarding her whereabouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It is considered that her safety is at risk,” the statement said, “since she could be a victim of the commission of a crime.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Prosecutor’s Office has urged the public to come forward with any information that could help locate Shelbie Lynn. The 17-year-old girl is described as being 5 feet tall with a slender build. She has multiple tattoos on both her arms and hands, as well as one on her backside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This would be a new instance of a missing U.S. citizen in Mexico. In early March, four U.S. citizens from South Carolina were kidnapped by a cartel in Matamoros, northeastern Mexico, in what appears to have been a case of mistaken identity. Two of the kidnapped individuals were killed, while the remaining two were later released after mediatic pressure in both countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
