Gabriella “voluntarily left” the condos where she was staying at approximately 4 a.m., police said in a Facebook post. She was last seen getting into an unknown vehicle, leaving Dawn Condos in the 7000 block of Seawall Boulevard around the time she was reported missing, police said.
“Gabriella is on vacation with family friends and does not know anyone in the Galveston area,” according to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
“Caito is from out of state and requires medication, which makes locating her very important,” police said.
