Puerto Rico Police Bureau agents from the Missing Persons Division of the Carolina Criminal Investigations Corps (CIC) are asking for the public’s help in finding Yanieliz Marie Ubiñas Cruz, 15, who disappeared on November 4, 2026, in Canóvanas. A social worker from the Department of the Family reported her missing, according to a Police Bureau press release.
According to the preliminary investigation, the teenager was last seen around midday on the grounds of the Luis Hernaiz Veronne school.

Ubiñas Cruz was described as light-skinned, 5 feet 2 inches tall, 110 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair with blonde-dyed tips.
As distinguishing marks, she has piercings in her nose and navel, plus a tattoo of a smiley face on her left ankle.
