The search for a teenager from Vélez-Málaga on the eastern stretch of the Costa del Sol has been called off as she has made contact with her family and the police have been informed. However, her parents remain concerned for their daughter who would not reveal her whereabouts or who she is with.

Jessica Bermúdez Díaz's parents reported her disappearance on Monday 13 May after she failed to return home having gone out apparently to give copies of her CV to local shops. She didn't answer calls and her mobile phone appeared in the family home's letterbox without a SIM card. It had also been reset.

The SOS Desaparecidos missing persons association had circulated a poster with the photo of Jessica after she had last been seen by her family at 8.45am when she told them that she was going out to hand her CV into local shops. She was looking for a job as a shop assistant.

According to her parents Jessica, who turned 18 on 7 May, had no problems with her family, nor had she had any conflict that could have pushed her to leave her home. The girl’s mother said that the family had spent Sunday at the beach and that she had not noticed any unusual behaviour in her daughter.

her mother said that Jessica does not tend to "go out partying" and prefers to be at home with her siblings. She does acknowledge that Jessica spends hours chatting on social media and in particular Instagram.
