Police Ask For Help To Find Missing NMB Woman
(CBS4) NORTH MIAMI BEACH The North Miami Beach police department is asking for the public’s help in an attempt to find a missing woman who may be endangered.
According to police, 20-year old Heather “Kitty” Riggio, was last seen on May 6th leaving her family’s house, 1601 NE 174th Street. She got into a white SUV and that’s the last anyone has seen her.
She has blonde hair and was wearing a pink top, jeans and high heels. North Miami Beach Detective Rich Rand described a man in the SUV as an “associate”.
“She was a good person, who would give you the shirt off her back,” said Riggio’s grandmother, who spoke to CBS4.com and did not wish to be identified.
Riggio’s background is a bit tragic. Her mother died in a motorcycle accident when she was a child and her father hasn’t been around for years. She was raised by her grandmother.
Riggio, a one-time exotic dancer who has never been missing before, has a felony charge pending for possession of narcotics. Police say Riggio simply may have gotten involved with the wrong crowd, despite the fact that family members say she had been trying to straighten out her life.
“I have no idea who may have taken her. I was out of town this happened. I don’t know the people who may have taken her and I haven’t been able to help the police at all,” said the grandmother in frustration.
Police are asking anyone with information to call North Miami Beach police at 305-948-2940 or Miami-Dade Crime
