Police officials in Central Florida are investigating the possibility that a teen girl reported missing from Miami earlier this month could be the same teen in an Amber Alert issued earlier this week.

By Jessi Minneci
Titusville Police are still searching for a teen they say was last seen being forced into a SUV just before 8 a.m. Tuesday.
Investigators now believe that the teen may be 17-year-old Dania Bellegarde -- last seen May 7th in the 1700 Block of NW 95th Street in Miami-Dade County.
Titusville Police Deputy Chief Todd Hutchinson said in a statement that investigators looked into a possible link in the case.
Bellegrade is 5’5” and weights 140 lbs. with black hair in braids and brown eyes and also has a nose piercing.
Police have described her as a frequent runaway with no medical or physical impairments.
Anyone with any information on either case is asked to call Titusville Police, Miami-Dade Police or the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
