I know because it’s 2011 and everyone is Googleable (lol), it seems like meeting people off line is a lot less scary but it still has HIGH risks!! Police are currently looking for an 18 year old college student who went missing after spending the day with a men she met online. So sad and scary! I really hope they find her! Details after the jump.

(KTLA) – 18-year-old Ashley Barraza was last seen on Monday after she was dropped off near school, but she never made it to her summer classes.

A man she met online told police that the two spent the day together instead, and he dropped her off at a friend’s house at Garvey and Garfield avenues in Monterey Park.

Barraza is Hispanic and has black hair and brown eyes. She is about 5’5″ tall and 190 pounds, and was last seen wearing a black T-shirt and jean shorts, and carrying a green backpack.

Anyone with information is asked to call the LAPD at (877) LAPD-24-7 or (877) 527-3247.
