Statement from Jessica Negron (mother of missing Franklin, MA teen, Jazlyn Rodrigues):

"My 15-year-old daughter, Jazlyn Rodrigues, has been missing since October 10, 2023. She was last seen leaving our home (200 Woodview Way, Franklin, MA) around 7:00pm.

Jazlyn (aka “Jazzy” or “Mia”) is a beautiful, loving, and very smart girl. She loves to draw and paint, but most importantly, she loves school. It is very unlike her to miss school, but she has for one week now. Something is very wrong.

I am desperate to find my daughter and I am begging for your help. Please continue to share her picture, distribute flyers, and spread the word to everyone you come in contact with.

If you think you have seen Jazlyn or have any information regarding her whereabouts, please contact 911 or the Franklin Police Department at 508-528-1212. Thank you all for your prayers and support. God bless you.

Dear Jazzy,

We miss you, we love you, and we won’t stop looking for you. 

We just want you home.

Love, Mom"
