Family Searching for Southern California Teen Missing for Weeks
Authorities and family members are urgently searching for Cayla Marchetti, an 18-year-old Southern California resident who has been missing for almost a month. Cayla, who also goes by the name “Rowan,” was last seen on August 26th in Canyon Country, a suburban neighborhood in Los Angeles County. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) has listed her as an at-risk individual due to her mental disability and need for medication.
Last Seen in Canyon Country
According to the LASD, Marchetti was last spotted around 7:45 a.m. on the 18000 block of Sandy Drive in Canyon Country. She is described as a white female standing about 5 feet tall and weighing approximately 170 pounds. Cayla has brown eyes and shoulder-length brown or red hair. At the time of her disappearance, she was reportedly wearing a black shirt and blue pants.

Her family remains hopeful but deeply worried as they continue to search for any clues to her whereabouts.
