A 16-year-old girl from West Rockhill Township remains missing a month after she was last seen at her Lower Rocky Dale Road home, Pennridge Regional Police Department said.

Geyahna Medwatz, aka GG, left her home between midnight at 6:30 a.m. March 21, police said.

Police are asking the public’s help in locating her whereabouts. Medwatz has a history of mental health concerns, police said.

Police said a neighbor's surveillance camera shows what appears to be a vehicle stopping in front of Medwatz's home at 2:36 a.m., and then departing about 30 minutes later.

Investigators said a figure appears to walk away from the home with a flashlight around 2:50 a.m. Police believe that figure is Medwatz.

The vehicle then leaves toward Upper Rocky Dale Road from Lower Rocky Dale Road, police said.

Medwatz is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 150 pounds, police said. She has brown eyes and brown hair.


Police said Medwatz may have traveled to Philadelphia or Camden, NJ.


At the time of her disappearance, police asked residents of homes on Allentown Road, Thousand Acre Road, Ridge Valley Road and any surrounding roads to check Ring cameras or other home security recordings between 2 a.m. and 3:30 a.m. March 21 for any vehicles traveling to or from the area of Upper and Lower Rocky Dale roads.


The video footage was not distinct enough to make out a make or model of the vehicle, police said.

Medwatz does not have her personal belongings, as most were found in her bedroom; she does, however, have a deactivated cell phone she has used in the past to post on social media, police said.

Police said Medwatz is believed to not have taken her medication for several days.

"There is some concern for her wellbeing based off comments she made earlier in the day on March 20 while at school about harming herself,” Pennridge police said. "But, according to family, she was in good spirits the night before she went missing.”

It is also unknown what clothing GG was wearing when she left.

Call Pennridge Regional Police at 215-257-5104 or use the tips section of the Crimewatch app if anyone has contact with Medwatz or sees activity on her social media profiles.

Anyone with information can also call 1-800-THE-LOST. Submit a tip to Pennridge Regional Police here.
