Manatee County Deputies Searching for Missing Endangered Juvenile Last Seen in Palmetto

The Manatee County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in locating a missing endangered juvenile who has been reported as a runaway.

Areyanna Bosworth, 16, left her home in the 900 block of 38th Terrace East in Bradenton and has not returned. She was last seen on March 4, 2026, in the 1700 block of U.S. 41 in Palmetto.

At the time of her disappearance, Bosworth was wearing a black crop top, black leggings and sandals.

According to authorities, Bosworth has a history of leaving home. However, family members and investigators are increasingly concerned for her safety because they have not had any contact with her for more than a week.

The sheriff’s office is urging anyone who may have information about Bosworth’s whereabouts to contact the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office at 941-747-3011.
