BAYTOWN, TX (KTRK) -- Police and volunteers are working together, actively searching for any sign of two teenagers who haven't been seen since last Wednesday. Baytown police say two friends, Jarvis Morgan, 17, and Alejandro Chavez, 18, were last seen by family on Wednesday, February 19 at 8 pm. Both have been absent from school since Wednesday. The teens were reportedly traveling in Morgan's mother's black 2013 Nissan Altima, which officers located Monday morning in the 1200 block of Missouri. Police say the two may have visited friends at an apartment on Northwood Drive. Over the weekend, officers and detectives checked the apartment complexes on Northwood Dr. and the wooded area west of it. Equusearch volunteers have joined in the search effort.

Detectives are investigating leads but they say they have not yet verified rumors of foul play.
