Found Safe PA - Esma Donuk, 17, Levittown, 3 Oct 2016

17 Year old female, Esma Donuk was last seen in the area of Woodbourne Apartments on Woodbourne Rd in Levittown / Middletown, PA and near Glen Hollow Apartments in Bristol, PA.

Esma is a white female, 5'7", approximately 120lbs with brown hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information can call Bristol Township police at 215-785-4040 or the non-law enforcement anonymous tip line at (866) 931- TIPS (8477).

The family has retained Know It All Intelligence Group, a local private investigative agency to assist with the missing persons investigation.

Unfortunately, at this time we do not have any additional information. I am meeting with the family this evening to get additional case information and will post an update.

This is reasonably near the other missing persons case (Piccone).

This is very close to LP's home in Bensalem, a little further from Tyler. Regardless, it doesn't seem like there would be a connection, but who knows, I guess.

Yeah, I don't like to insinuate correlations between cases, based on nothing. I never realized so many people go missing. You just don't always hear about these people.

I have been to Levittown, PA a lot! My boys took Haidong Gumdo there. We drove from McGuire Air Force Base.

Imho...it is a small town feel. I have walked a street over to the store while they were at practice with no concerns.

I am glad she's still alive! I hope she is staying safe!

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has posted a video alert regarding Esma's disappearance.
https://youtu.be/loYYC7pGsCI

There have been no new sightings.

When I drive to work up near Levittown, sometimes PENDOT puts messages up on the signs for missing people or Amber Alerts. The problem is you are driving so fast, that you don't have time to see the pertinent information on the alert.. They had a missing person message last Monday morning looking for a car and its plate. I wonder if it could be his case.

Thank you TMAN2014, but that was not this case. There is no known vehicle involved at this time.

OK thanks. I just wanted to note that in case in might relate to this case. I would rather throw some incidental fact out there. You never know what might be relevant. Thanks for your work Prime time.

Levittown is a middle/working class town, but not a particularly wealthy area. There is nothing I would call unsafe about it for the general public, but it is one of the (suburban) epicenters of the local heroin epidemic recently in the Philly area. The incoming Bucks County Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick is from Levittown and combating this scourge was one of his primary issues in the campaign (not to say that his opponent was pro-heroin, but BF had TV ads about it). I hope this girl didn't get caught up in that in any way.

Oh wow. We spent a year going from McGuire Air Force Base, NJ to Levittown for my boys black belt in Haidong Gumdo seemed pretty chill. That was back in 2005/06.

My BIL is from Levittown. And I have visited several times. They now live in jersey but we still come back to PA for philly sandwiches. Levittown is sleepy. Lots of Amish shops. And you can't turn left off main roads. It's annoying.

Yeah, in general, it's a pretty normal town. Even at epidemic levels, this is something that only affects a small percentage of the total population. This heroin thing seems to be on the upswing only in the last couple years, and it's just starting to get high profile attention now, especially since it's crept out of Kensington and into the (white, middle class) suburbs.

Also, I need to stress again, I don't have any specific knowledge or suspicion that this case is tied to that at all.

This is a good article about the addiction problem in Bucks County in today's BCCT (sorry about the paywall).

In the past few weeks, eight people died from heroin overdoses in Bucks County. Five of the deaths occurred in the past 11 days in Falls, said Lt. Hank Ward, and three occurred in Bristol Township, said John Godzieba, a township lieutenant.

This year, more than 20 people died from the drug in Falls, 30 in Bristol Township and more than 100 countywide, police said.

These are huge numbers for the county, up 100% just since 2008.

http://6abc.com/news/5th-heroin-related-death-reported-in-falls-twp/1644590/

This was the 12th reported heroin overdose in Falls Township over the past 11 days, and the fifth heroin-related death over that same stretch.

It's been escalating over the last couple weeks. Levittown is in Falls Township.
