Family Searching for Signs of Missing Daughter

More than a week after 14-year-old Alyssa Reagan slipped out a window of her cozy Briarwood home, her family is still asking questions and searching for the presumed runaway child. 

"There's really no new information," grandmother and adoptive mother Christine Warner said. "It's not normal for her to run away. It was definitely unexpected."

Alyssa has not been seen by her family since Jan. 27. Her Facebook page was updated on Saturday, Feb. 2, to add new friends, however, according to her family.

Alyssa lives with Christine and Gary Warner along with her three sisters, ages 11, 16, and 17. The Warners are the girls' biological grandparents and have adopted the sisters.

Christine Warner describes the missing Alston Middle School student as sweet.

"Everybody knows her. Everybody in the whole school knows her. She's a little bit of a teacher's pet type of child. She never thinks she has enough attention," Warner said.  

With so many questions left unanswered, the Warners are left trying to piece together the last few days before Alyssa's disappearance. 

According to the Warners, Alyssa had recently broke up her boyfriend and, on Jan. 25, gone to a friend's house for the weekend. On the day she disappeared, Sunday, Jan. 27, Alyssa was brought home by the friend's mother after a day at the Music in Motion Family Fun Center. According to Christine Warner, Alyssa refused get out of the vehicle and the friend's mother called deputies to have her forced out of the vehicle. 

Just a few hours later, Alyssa slipped out of a front window of the house. Prior to her unannounced departure, she had been chatting with a person online. Both that person and her friend's mother have been questioned to her whereabouts, revealing nothing, Warner said. 

"Whatever tales she tells, fine. If she thinks I'm a monster, fine. Just let me know she's alright," Warner said.

Because Alyssa is a runaway, the search for her is left up to the family, Warner said.

"(Deputies) said they wouldn't go hunt her, that's my job, and I hunted all over the neighborhood," Warner said. The family has also posted her picture and information on Facebook.
