Jasper’s mother, Caitlain Jasper, said Alyssa is adopted and has mental health issues that require medication, which she did not bring with her.

“She’s run away many times before … and she’s been found and returned home previously,” Caitlain Jasper said. “I worry that she’s left the area.”

Lewiston police Lt. Derrick St. Laurent said Alyssa Jasper left home on her own accord and may be with someone she knows.

Anyone with information on Alyssa Jasper’s whereabouts should call the Lewiston Police Department at 207-784-6421.
