The parents of a missing Bremerton girl who underwent brain surgery three weeks ago say could die if is not found soon. 16 year old Ariel Luddington disappeared with her boyfriend last week. Her parents said since her surgery her personality has changed. “She’s not using her best judgment due to the brain surgery,” said Tina Luddington, Ariel’s mother. Ariel had an abscess removed from the her brain after an infection spread. She also suffers from congenital heart problems. Luddington’s father said he’s angry her boyfriend, 19 year old Alex Pequignot isn’t taking her health issues into consideration. “It upsets me that he’s made the decisions he has,” said Tim Luddington. “He knew about her mental condition, he knows about her cardiac condition and yet he still chose to go ahead and take her from us.” Luddington has several weeks of antibiotic treatment because of the remaining abscess, but hasn’t had any medication in nearly a week. “She could die, eventually she could die if she doesn’t seek out medical attention,” said Tina Luddington. Ariel Luddington is four foot nine and weighs about 100 pounds. She may be staggering and have slurred speech due to the brain surgery. Bremerton police said there have been several possible sightings but so far she has not been located. Late Tuesday the FBI’s National Center for Missing and Exploited Children joined the search. Police are asking anyone with information to call 911.
