Still no trace of Gwinnett County teen missing since July 2022

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - The Gwinnett Police Department needs the public’s help finding 16-year-old Susana Morales.

Morales was last seen leaving her home on Santa Anna Drive in Norcross on July 26, 2022, wearing light blue jeans, a yellow spaghetti-strapped shirt, and white Crocs.

Morales is a Hispanic female with curly brown hair, brown eyes, two nose rings, and a pierced lip.

Morales stands 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 117 pounds.

Susana Morales’s cell phone continued to show her being in the area of Oak Loch Trace until the cell phone died or was turned off.

Police said Morales’s cell phone and video footage showed her walking in the direction of her home on July 26, but detectives have reason to believe she may have gotten into a vehicle.

According to police, Morales also texted her mom at 9:40 p.m. that night, saying she was on her way home but never showed up.

A location application showed Morales walking on Singleton Road to her home from Windscape Village Lane between 10:07 p.m. and 10:21 p.m.

Police said between 10:21 p.m. and 10:26 p.m., Morales’s cell phone indicates that her last known location was at Oak Loch Trace near Steve Reynolds.

Morales’s cell phone continued to show her being in the area of Oak Loch Trace until the cell phone died or was turned off.
