’We just want her back home and safe for the holidays’: Harrisburg family searches for runaway teen

A Harrisburg girl walked out of her Harrisburg home Sunday and hasn’t been seen since, according to her father Michael Lebert.

14-year-old Bryanna Lebert is being treated for PTSD, anxiety and depression, her father said. She has run away before, but never for this long.

“She does things on impulse,” Michael Lebert explained and said he’s particularly worried because last time she somehow got a ride to York where she planned to meet someone she’d never seen in person before.

Although the teen has threatened suicide in the past, Lebert said there was no indication she was trying to do so this time.

The longest she’s ever been gone is 18 and a half hours, Lebert said. As of Tuesday afternoon, it had been 2 days. She was last seen around 3:20 p.m.

“I try to tell her all the time it’s dangerous to get into people’s vehicles and talk to people online,” Lebert said.

Her family is now worried that she may have met someone and gone to try to meet them.

Bryanna’s, who sometimes goes by “Bree” had her 14th birthday on Nov. 14, Lebert said.

She is described as being 5 foot 1 and a half inches tall, 123 pounds, with hazel eyes and dirty blonde hair.

She was last seen wearing a grey hoodie, a black T-shirt with a Pittsburgh Penguins emblem and black and tan camo pajama pants, Lebert said.

“Her family misses her and that we want her back home safe,” Lebert said. “We just want her back home and safe for the holidays.”

Anyone who sees Bryanna is asked to contact local law enforcement.
