Update: The family reports their daughter has returned home safely.

The family of a Downey High student is seeking help in finding her after she reportedly left campus alone Thursday morning and has not been heard from since.

Alyssa Barrera, an 18-year-old senior, was last seen leaving school at 11 a.m. after telling a friend she was going to see her girlfriend in Stockton, said Barrera’s mother, Charlene Robles. The teen has not reponded to telephone and text messages and other attempts to reach her.
