Ferschi S. Sanchez Mata was 13 years old when the Bowling Green Police Department asked the public for help finding her in December 2023. She was missing from the West 13th Avenue area of Bowling Green, Kentucky, and police said she had last been seen on Sunday, December 17, 2023, around 11:00 a.m. Local reporting based on the department’s public alert described her as a young teen from Bowling Green and repeated the identifying details that could help someone recognize her quickly: she was
wearing a black jacket, a white or black T-shirt, flare blue jeans, and black-and-rainbow Crocs.
Her case was also entered into national missing-person records as NamUs Missing Person case MP113512, with NCMEC case number 2008841. NamUs listed her as Ferschi S. Sanchez Mata, missing from Bowling Green, Kentucky, with a date of last contact of December 17, 2023. The attached case information identifies her as Hispanic / Latino, with black hair below the shoulders and brown eyes, approximately 5 feet 3 inches tall and about 100 pounds at the time she went missing. It also lists the Bowling Green Police Department as the investigating agency and connects the case to Warren County, Kentucky.
As the search developed, the public information available about Ferschi remained limited but urgent. The Bowling Green Police Department’s appeal asked anyone who knew where she was to call 270-393-4000 or 911, and local outlets helped spread that request so the community could watch for her and report anything helpful. The attached NamUs data adds that, as of December 21, 2023, she was believed to possibly be in Nashville, Tennessee, suggesting that concern for her whereabouts extended beyond Bowling Green and into another city and state. No detailed public timeline explains how she may have traveled, who she may have been with, or what led investigators to believe she could be in Nashville.
The public police update later stated that Ferschi had been located and was safe. The exact date of that update is unclear from the publicly available post text, so the most careful reading is that her missing-person case is no longer an active search and that she was found alive, while the precise date she was located is not publicly clear from the available information. That outcome matters because the earliest public notices described a vulnerable 13-year-old girl missing from a specific Bowling Green neighborhood, while the later update brought the relief that she was safe. In overview, Ferschi Sanchez Mata’s case began with a December 17, 2023 disappearance from the West 13th Avenue area of Bowling Green, led to public alerts from police, local media coverage, and a NamUs listing, included concern that she might be in Nashville, and ultimately ended with the compassionate and important news that she had been found safe.Last Seen: Dec 17, 2023
