Westbrook police are looking for a 14-year-old girl who went missing Thursday night or Friday morning.

Jaedyn Smith was last seen by her mother Thursday night at 11:30 p.m., but was gone when her mother went to wake her up for school Friday morning.

Smith has brown hair and blue eyes, weighs about 115 pounds and stands about 5-foot 4-inches tall. She has long hair and pierced ears. She was last seen wearing black leggings, black sneakers and a gray top with a palm tree on it. There was an unconfirmed sighting of her near Westbrook High School around noon, police said. She was reported missing about 1 p.m. Friday.

Westbrook Police Captain Steve Goldberg said Smith has a history of leaving her house without permission, but in this case, none of her friends had heard from her.

“Our concern is that we don’t know if this is a 14-year-old being rebellious or there is more going on,” Goldberg said. “If there is something serious, we will deal with it, or if it’s a parental issue, so be it, and we can leave it at that level.”

Anyone with information about Smith’s whereabouts should contact the Westbrook Police at 854-0644, ext. 1.
