Detectives Probing Disappearance Of Long Island Girl: Police

PATCHOGUE, NY — Fifth Squad detectives are investigating the disappearance of a 14-year-old girl from Patchogue, Suffolk police said Tuesday.

Emma Gervasi has not been seen since Monday at around 5 p.m. on Terrell Street in Patchogue, according to police.

Gervasi's profile has been placed on the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's website.

She was last seen wearing a black t-shirt and black leggings, a post on the center's website said.

A police spokesman said Gervasi's profile was added to the center's site as a matter of routine.

In a Facebook post, her father, Frank Gervasi, said she has brown hair and eyes, stands 5 feet 4 and weighs about 140 lbs.

Gervasi referred questions to a family friend who is handling media inquiries. In an interview with Greater Long Island, Stephanie Biondi said the teen spoke with her father the night she went missing and discussed dinner plans for when he returned from work.

Gervasi said video from a neighbor's security system shows his daughter getting into a blue car, but, according to Biondi the footage is too grainy, the outlet reported.

“She has no cell phone and no ID on her,” Biondi told the outlet. “It doesn’t seem like it was a planned thing, so that is the scariest part for us."
