The 16-year-old Kara Alongi was last heard from Sunday evening when she allegedly tweeted
"There is somone in my hour ecall 911." It is assumed the message was
intended to indicate someone was inside her house and that she wanted
authorities to get notified.
Clark Police Department
responded immediately and K-9 units tracked the Kara's scent
from the back door of her home, through a neighbor's yard and around the
corner. But then the scent went cold.
According to Clark Police Chief Alan Scherb, investigators later received information leading them to believe the Twitter message was a hoax.
The disappearance of Kara Alongi, a junior at Arthur L. Johnson High School, is now being investigated as that of a runaway juvenile, Clark police chief Alan Scherb said.
"Kara might feel that she will be in trouble if she comes home after
this scare and causing a panic," police said. "At this point, all
everyone cares about is seeing her safe and at her house where she
belongs."
