Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP138422)
Sophia Brownfield, a 16‑year‑old girl from New Port Richey East in Pasco County, Florida, was last seen on February 10, 2025. She stood approximately 65 inches tall, weighed around 110 pounds, and was described as having blond or strawberry‑colored hair and brown eyes. The New Port Richey Police Department promptly filed the missing persons report under case number 25‑00351, and the Pasco County Sheriff's Office led a widespread search effort—including the
deployment of drones, K‑9 units, law enforcement officers, and community volunteers—all in pursuit of locating her.
Authorities issued public appeals requesting assistance; despite that appeal and comprehensive efforts, no confirmed sightings or credible updates were reported for several weeks.
Later, a statement from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement confirmed that the missing teenager had been found safe, though details about the circumstances of her recovery remain vague.
This outcome brought relief to her family, friends, and the entire community that had remained deeply concerned. Although specifics surrounding how and where she was found have not been disclosed by authorities, the confirmation of her safety marks a profoundly reassuring development after a distressing and uncertain period.
