URGENT: 13-Year-Old Nikki Taylor Demitro Missing in Port St. Lucie – How Melbourne Residents Can Help
The search is on for 13-year-old Nikki Taylor Demitro, and authorities need our community’s help. Port St. Lucie Police Department issued an alert after Nikki was last seen leaving her residence in the 900 block of SW Eueeka Avenue on November 24th, 2025, around 9 PM. She was wearing a blue shirt and black shorts when she disappeared.
As Melbourne residents, we might be a county away, but we know all too well that when it comes to missing children, every pair of eyes matters, especially in the crucial first 48 hours.
What We Know About Nikki’s Disappearance
Police have classified Nikki as an “endangered missing child,” which indicates there are specific concerns about her safety. While authorities haven’t released all details to protect the integrity of their search, they’re actively seeking public assistance in locating her.
Last seen wearing: Blue shirt and black shorts
Last known location: Her home on SW Eueeka Ave, Port St. Lucie
Date of disappearance: November 24th, 2025
Time last seen: Approximately 9 PM
I’ve noticed increasing reports of missing teens across Florida recently, and each case reminds us of the importance of community vigilance. While we don’t know if Nikki has any connections to Brevard County, it’s not uncommon for missing teens to travel to neighboring counties.
Why Melbourne Residents Should Pay Attention
Port St. Lucie is just about an hour and a half drive from Melbourne. In missing persons cases, especially involving minors, the first 48-72 hours are critical. Children can travel surprising distances in that timeframe, especially if someone is helping them.
Having worked with community alert systems before, I can tell you that expanding the search radius to neighboring counties often makes the difference in these cases. Nikki could potentially be spotted in our area, particularly at:
- Melbourne Square Mall
- Public transit stations
- Parks and recreation areas
- Downtown Melbourne shops and restaurants

Why Community Involvement Matters in Missing Children Cases
I’ve seen firsthand how community awareness makes a difference. Last year, a teen missing from Palm Bay was located in Cocoa after a restaurant worker recognized them from a social media post. Your awareness could be what brings Nikki home safely.
The more eyes we have looking, the better the chances of finding Nikki quickly. While law enforcement leads these investigations, they rely heavily on community support and information.
What To Do If You See Nikki
If you believe you’ve spotted Nikki or have information about her whereabouts:
- Don’t approach her yourself – This could frighten her or alert anyone who might be with her
- Note exact location, time, what she’s wearing, and who she’s with
- Call Port St. Lucie Police Department immediately
- Stay in the area if safe to do so, to help direct authorities
- Take a photo only if it can be done discreetly and without causing alarm
