This is all over the country via the Internet now. I hope it helps lead to some clues or tips. I can't imagine this family's pain.
People tell me I am overprotective of my kids, and this is precisely why. They can be gone in an instant!

Were praying for her safe return... hope she is ok...God be with Autumn & her family. What was the text message at 2:30...? Did they talk to her any further into the day..? Would there be any reason to run away..? With all these kids suffering from depression... I have four kids myself and always worried about them too. Very scary world anymore. God bless your family.

Channel 6 is reporting that this young girls body has been found in a recycling container. I pray to God that they find the one responsible for this cowardly act and string them by their nuts a be publicy beaten to death!!!!! Any POS that does something like this to a child has NO place on this earth!! The reality though is that our courts systems and law makers will protect this predator with the thought that they can be cured. Well this persons only cure is death! Am I pissed off? Your DAMN right I am!!
I continue to pray and my heart aches for this young childs family and friends may she rest in peace.
