Police are searching for a Delray Beach teenager who disappeared Tuesday morning.

Jade Beneby, 17, left for her bus stop at Southwest 8th Avenue and Southwest 1st Street at about 6:30 a.m.

"As far as we know, she didn't make it to the bus stop," said Delray Beach police spokeswoman Nicole Guerriero.

At 7:05 a.m., Beneby sent a text message to her mother saying she needed help.

A minute later, she sent another text saying she did all she could but that she was in the trunk of a car.

"She said she couldn't do anything else," Guerriero said.

Jade is 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs about 105 pounds. She was last seen wearing a long-sleeved white shirt and blue jeans. She also had a pink bag with her. She goes to Atlantic High School.

Guerriero said investigators are talking to people from the neighborhood, including friends and students who might have been at that bus stop Tuesday morning.

Anyone with information on Jade's whereabouts should contact the Delray Beach Police Department at 561-243-7800.
