Caroline Karimi, 18, of Los Angeles, CA
UPDATE: Caroline Karimi is safe! According to CBSLA, she was found in Wyoming.
A father is anxiously hoping that some clues surface soon about the whereabouts of his 18-year-old daughter, Caroline Karimi, who has been missing since early Monday, July 29th.
According to CBSLA, Karimi, who just graduated at the top of her high school class, has been missing since she left her home at the 2900 block of Queensbury Drive in Cheviot Hills in California to volunteer at San Gabriel Valley Medical Center.
Her father told CBSLA, “She was going to the hospital. She put the hospital uniform on, she got to her car, she got lunch for herself to go to the hospital. She was going there. I don’t know why it got interrupted.”
According to the report, the last known stop Karimi took was at Vons, a store located just two miles away from her home (in the shopping center at Cheviot Hills). There is security camera footage that shows her buying food and then going back to her car and driving away.
CBSL shared that right before she left the parking lot, she texted her mom to inform her that she was going to head to work, but then she never showed.
Her cell phone is now shut off and none of her online accounts or social medias have been used since she went missing.
Her father shared how worried he is about his daughter and said, “As a father, [I’m thinking], Is she alive? Dead? Is she kidnapped? Tortured? You name it. It’s hard to get the negative thoughts out of your brain.”
Karimi drives a 1997 green Toyota Prius with the CA license plate number 5YVV475. She has been described as 5’5”, 135lbs, with brown hair and green eyes.
