Police are searching for a teenage girl from the Western Branch area of Chesapeake who has been missing for a month.
Andrea R. Lutz, 13, was last seen in the city on June 25 at Chesapeake Square Mall. She was sighted later that evening at Flipper McCoy's game arcade near 21st Street at Atlantic Avenue in Virginia Beach.
Lutz is about 5-foot-3-inches-tall and weighs about 130 pounds. She has a ring in her nose, an appendectomy scar, and was last seen wearing cut-off blue jeans, a short sleeve black shirt, and black tennis shoes. The teenager could ``easily pass for 18,'' according to her mother, Joni Wilson.
Wilson has contacted police in Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Norfolk and on the Peninsula. The mother said that Lutz placed a phone call from Manassas at about midnight June 30 to a friend in Chesapeake's Stonebridge Apartments. Lutz reportedly said that she was OK and was on her way to a party with another girl.
Wilson said her daughter has not run away, but fears that she may have joined a group of runaways she met on the Virginia Beach strip this summer. Wilson also said she fears the girl may have been taken against her will. ``Some people I'm sure have got her doing something,'' she said. ``I'm sure she does not know what's going on.''
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective M.T. Lawton of the Chesapeake Police Department at 382-8373 or Wilson at 533-2933. ILLUSTRATION: Photo
