Hollywood Police are looking for two people who went missing this week in separate incidents.

Kevin Von Behren, 52, was last seen at his home in the 6100 block of Harding Street around 5 p.m. on Sunday, police said.

Von Behren's family hasn't heard from him in several days and they believe his disappearance is suspicious, police said.


Von Behren is 5-foot-10, 160 pounds, has brown hair, green eyes and tattoos on his left arm of a rabbit and an eagle.

The second missing person is 14-year-old Melany Rosa Gonzalez, who was last seen around 12:30 a.m. on Tuesday in the 2400 block of McKinley Street.

Gonzalez's mother said she didn't see her daughter that morning but assumed she had left early for school. When she didn't come home later that day, the mother called police.


It's believed Gonzalez ran away from home, police said. Gonzalez is 4-foot-9, 112 pounds, with red hair, brown eyes and a tattoo on her right hand ring finger that says "Fly Away."

Anyone with information on either missing person is asked to call Hollywood Police at 954-967-HELP or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
