Emmarae Gervasi Missing – On December 8, 2024, 14-year-old Emmarae Gervasi disappeared from her home in Suffolk County, New York.
Her father, Frank Gervasi, reported that she was last seen stepping out to retrieve something from the driveway and did not return. This led to a frantic search, with Frank offering a $15,000 reward for information leading to her safe return.
After 26 days of relentless searching, Frank received a tip on January 3, 2025, indicating that Emmarae was on a boat in a canal in Islip.
Acting on this information, he located and rescued his daughter from the vessel, where she was found alone. Frank described the moment as a “gift from God,” expressing immense relief at finding her alive.
Authorities have since arrested a 65-year-old man in connection with Emmarae’s disappearance. While specific details about the suspect and the circumstances of the abduction have not been fully disclosed, the investigation is ongoing.
Emmarae is now safe, and her family is focused on her recovery and well-being. The community has expressed overwhelming support, and the family has extended their gratitude for the assistance and prayers received during this challenging time.
