Missing 18-Year-Old Girl Jumped Out Of Moving Car: Sheriff

BRADENTON, FL — An 18-year-old girl with a history of emotional issues was reported missing in Manatee County Thursday night. Aliza Hernandez jumped out of a moving car after having an argument with her father, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.

The incident happened at 51 st Ave and 15th St E around 4:20 p.m.

A spokesperson for the sheriff's office said Hernandez was recently released from Centerstone after being evaluated under Florida's Baker Act.

"Her father was driving home," the sheriff's office said. "They had a disagreement that resulted in Aliza jumping out of a moving car and fleeing the area. During her visit to Centerstone she was prescribed several medications for her mental stability."

The sheriff's office said that Hernandez does not have her medication with her and was not carrying any money or a cellphone.

"Multiple areas were checked and she has not been located at this time," the sheriff's office said. "She made no indication that she wanted to harm herself when she fled from the vehicle and she was not believed to be injured when she jumped out of the vehicle."

The sheriff's office said Hernandez has been detained multiple times under the Baker Act.
