WEST VILLAGE — A teenage "chronic runaway" who lives in the affordable artists' housing complex Westbeth has gone missing again, police said.
Stella Pejo, 17, has been reported missing at least once in 2013 and in 2014.
Police said she has been missing since Aug. 13 this time. She appears to have posted two photos on Facebook on Aug. 20. One purports to be from a photo shoot for Brooklyn hip-hop collective Pro Era, and the other bears the caption "had to capture the essence of my drunken state."
Pejo is a student at LaGuardia High School, according to her Facebook interactions.
She was last seen at noon on Aug. 13 at the Chipotle at 405 Sixth Ave. in Greenwich Village, wearing blue shorts and a white T-shirt, police said. She is described as being approximately 5-foot-6 and weighing 110 pounds, with brown eyes and long brown hair.
In 2009, Pejo was featured in the horror movie "Upstairs," starring Luke Perry of "90210" fame and directed by her father, Romanian-born filmmaker Robert-Adrian Pejo.
The NYPD asks that anyone with information regarding Pejo's whereabouts call the Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
