Royal Barbados Police Force officials have issued an urgent public appeal for information to help locate a 13-year-old girl who was reported missing from the St. Michael parish community of Thompson Gap, Eagle Hall. The minor, identified as Amia Pinder, was last confirmed sighted on Monday, October 26, and has not made contact with her family or returned home since that date. Law enforcement has shared detailed descriptive information to aid community members in identifying the teen: Pinder stands at four feet eight inches tall, has a slim physique, dark skin tone, and typically wears her hair styled in individual single braids. At the time she was last spotted, she was dressed in a white sleeveless blouse, blue three-quarter length denim jeans, and black casual slippers, while carrying a plain black haversack backpack. Investigators note that Amia is known to regularly spend time at the public park situated along Deacons Road in St. Michael, and are asking anyone who may have seen her in that area or elsewhere in the parish in recent days to come forward with any relevant details, no matter how small they may seem. Members of the public who hold information about Amia’s current whereabouts are encouraged to reach out immediately to officers at the Black Rock Police Station via the contact numbers 417-7500 or 417-7501, call the 24/7 Police Emergency line at 211, submit anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIPS (8477), or visit any local police station to share what they know. Authorities emphasize that timely public input is critical to ensuring the teen is located safely and reunited with her family as quickly as possible.
