Vera Eddy, Where Are You? A Girl Missing from Mesa
The search for 14-Year-Old Vera Eddy, missing from Mesa, Arizona, is ongoing. Her mother believes her to be located near the Ocean Beach neighborhood of San Diego.
14-year-old Veraanne Eddy has been missing from Mesa, Arizona, since April 17th, 2023. She was last seen walking near N Stapley Dr & E Brown Rd after she left her home wearing a pastel shirt and black pants.
It is believed that Vera might be attempting to meet up with her biological mother, who lost custody of Vera over twelve years ago.
Vera stands 5 feet, 4 inches tall, and weighs 120 pounds. She has blond hair and hazel eyes.
Mrs. Steffan fears her daughter Vera is allegedly being taken by her non-custodial biological mother, purportedly kidnapped, as she shared her concern on Facebook, updating with the frustration regarding the lack of progress on the case.
She also reported that her daughter was last sighted in California across the state line from her home state of Arizona.
According to Mrs. Steffan’s post, Vera was taken from her biological mother at two years old, allegedly due to child neglect; however, that is something that I cannot confirm, as I have no evidence supporting this claim.
Vera has been diagnosed with Autism, PTSD, and ADHD, so accordingly, it is critical to understand the potential effects of how such comorbidity might have affected her decision-making.
Mrs. Steffan believes that her daughter Vera is probably located near or around the Neighborhood of Ocean Beach in San Diego County, California, with the biological mother.
The latest update came from the 5th of May, stating that there still hasn't been any progress or recent sightings of her daughter Vera.
One can't imagine what her family must be going through. And they need your support in sharing their message.
Her well-being is a source of great concern to everyone, especially her mother.
Vera's disappearance left us with little information about the events that might have caused Vera to run away.
But, media awareness, especially in California, must do their best to help locate her quickly.
Very little is known about the backstory, at least, that I could tell of the situation regarding the relationship between Vera, her biological and adoptive parents.
Mrs. Steffan expressed her frustration with the direction in which the case is progressing. Furthermore, she previously added in a Facebook post update that on the 23rd of April, she received several pictures of her daughter's whereabouts along with the biological mother. She believed that the situation of her daughter's disappearance was being taken lightly by the department, as they consoled her that Vera was just with the biological mother.
Nevertheless, the only thing that matters is for Vera; to be safely located as soon as possible using means of media coverage; because no family should have to go through this.
In each story, so many aspects, realities, and questions remain unknown; but this is the side of the story that I am aware of; The case of Vera deserves much urgency to help find her and ensure her safety.
The perspective and intentions of the biological mother are unclear. And I reiterate that this is just the alleged information I could gather, and I am unsure if more details might reveal themselves soon after.
But if this is the case, I hope that there comes the part of a resolution and a mutual understanding from the biological mother to thoughtfully do the best for Vera, and for her to realize that it is never a good idea for Vera to be a runaway, assuming that it is the case, but rather to find common ground and make the right decisions for Vera without breaking any law or risking her mental health.
Vera's safety is the only priority!
If you have any information on Vera's whereabouts, please call the Mesa Police Department at 480-644-2211.
