Antioch, CA – The Antioch Police Department and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) are urgently seeking the public’s assistance in locating 12-year-old Belki E. Santamaria Armijo, who has been missing since August 16, 2024.
Belki was last seen in Antioch, California, and as of August 21, 2024, she remains missing. Authorities are concerned for her safety and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
Given her age, it is crucial that any adults, especially those aged 17 and older, act responsibly by reporting any knowledge of her whereabouts. The legal implications of harboring a runaway child, especially one as young as Belki, are serious, and the law provides different protections for children under the age of 13.
The Antioch Police Department has provided the public with a direct line to report any information about Belki’s whereabouts: 1-925-778-2441. Additionally, tips can be submitted to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children by calling 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678).
As the search continues, community members are encouraged to remain vigilant and to spread awareness about Belki’s disappearance. Her family, friends, and the local community are anxiously awaiting her safe return.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the authorities immediately.
