BRIDGEPORT, CT — Bridgeport police are asking for the public's help in finding Jayleen Burgos, a 14-year-old Hispanic girl, who was reported missing on March 30. Jayleen is "a recurrent runaway," who may be with a 19-year-old Bronx, New York man. Her family lives in the north end of Bridgeport. "Although there is periodic telephone contact between Jayleen and her family, Jayleen remains a missing person," wrote Bridgeport Police Capt. Kevin Gilleran in a statement. "In addition to the Bridgeport area, there is information to suggest that special attention should be paid to the Garden Street, Bronx, NY area." Jayleen is described as 5 feet, 1 inch tall, and weighs 130 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes. No other description was given about the 19-year-old man Jayleen may be with, but police said that considering her age, she "is in a dangerous environment that is evolving."
