A 17-year-old girl disappeared over the weekend, and her family suspects she's with a man she met over the Internet.
Erica Kennedy was last seen by her older brother around 11 p.m. Saturday night as she was getting into a small blue pickup truck about two doors down from her house, her mother Lizz Bedolla said. She was carrying a backpack.
The brother called after Kennedy to stop, but she got into the passenger side of the truck, which sped off. He did not get a look at who she was with, Bedolla said.
Kennedy’s friends later told her family a man she’s been talking to over the Internet had given her a cell phone a few months ago.
The Washtenaw County Sheriff's Department confirmed Kennedy is classified as a runaway.
Anyone with information about Kennedy’s whereabouts is being asked to contact the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Department at 734-971-8400.
