Description of missing Indianapolis girl Catalina Lubin
Catalina Lubin, 6, is a Black girl who was last seen wearing a pink puffy jacket. She is 3 feet tall, about 40 pounds, and has black hair and brown eyes.
If anyone locates Lubin, please call 911 immediately.
Where was Catalina Lubin last seen?
Lubin was reported missing after getting on a school bus at Spring Mill Elementary in the 8200 block of Spring Mill Road. In an initial call out to the public just after 6:45 p.m. police only said the girl didn’t arrive at her stop.
Shortly before 8:15 p.m., police announced the girl was seen getting off the bus at Crystal Bay Apartments around 2:45 p.m. Police are searching the area around the bus stop and apartment complex at 7136 Crystal Bay Drive, near West 71st Street and Michigan Road.
What are Indianapolis police doing to find Catalina Lubin
Along with a ground search of the area of Crystal Bay Apartments, officers are searching areas along the bus route and are using a drone to assist from the air. The department also dispatched its Emergency Response Group and Victim Assistance unit to help search. Speedway police also were informed, but their involvement wasn’t immediately clear.
Police added that Washington Township Schools is assisting with the investigation. IndyStar has reached out to a Washington Township Schools spokesperson to learn more about this disappearance.
Silver Alert issued for Catalina Lubin
About 8:45 p.m. police announced a statewide silver alert was issued for Lubin. Minutes later, they announced she was located and was safe.
How police found Catalin Lubin
According to police at the apartment complex, Lubin exited the Washington Township District school bus at about 2:45 p.m.
But it wasn’t until about 6:30 p.m. when police received a report that she was declared missing.
IMPD then requested assistance from the Speedway Police Department and the Washington Township Police Department in locating Lubin, according to police.
At about 8:00 p.m., police determined that Lubin had gotten off the bus in the Crystal Bay Apartments complex earlier that day, according to police.
Police began knocking on residents’ doors asking if they had seen Lubin. At about 8:25 p.m. police requested the Washington Township School district send out a notification of Lubin’s disappearance on its parent square application, police said.
At the same time, police had completed paperwork with the state law enforcement agencies to send out a silver alert regarding Lubin.
Shortly after the silver alert was sent out, police located Lubin at 8:42 p.m. as she was walking out of the apartment complex, according to police.
When asked where she was, Lubin told police that she was playing at a friend’s house and that she was heading home, according to police.
Lubin was then reunited with her family shortly after being found.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl each scored 22 points and the Toronto Raptors wrapped up a successful five-game road trip with a 129-111 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night.
Barrett made 9 of 17 shots with three 3-pointers for the Raptors, who won four games on the trip and improved to 6-3 on the road, 8-5 overall. Poeltl made eight of nine shots and had nine rebounds, but was just 6 of 14 at the line.
Toronto had seven double-digit scorers. Brandon Ingram added 19. Scottie Barnes had 14 points, 11 rebounds and six assists.
The Raptors built a nine-point halftime lead and gradually pulled away, the margin reaching 26.
Pascal Siakam scored 30 points with five 3-pointers for the Pacers, who had just two regular starters in the lineup due to injuries. The other healthy regular, point guard Andrew Nembhard, had 22 points and five assists.
The NBA finalists from a year ago are 1-12 and missing seven players. The latest loss is guard Aaron Nesmith, who will miss at least one month with a left knee injury, coach Rick Carlisle said before the game.
