Authorities say a 17-year girl who didn't return home from summer school Thursday may have been kidnapped.

Norma Lopez was reported missing by her younger sister around 12:25 p.m. Thursday, Sgt. Joe Borja of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said.

Witnesses reported that a green SUV was seen speeding from the area, and detectives believe Lopez may have been taken against her will, Borja said.

The 17-year-old attended a summer class between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. at Valley View High School, a little over a mile away from her home, according to Borja.

Lopez had planned to meet her younger sister and a friend around 10 a.m., but never showed up, he said.

Lopez was described as 5 feet 7 inches tall and 110 pounds. She was last seen wearing a black and white striped sleeveless shirt and black "skinny" jeans, according to the sheriff's department.

Press Conference under way:

They found some of her belongings, and indications of a possible struggle.
 
PC:

Newer Model Green SUV was seen in the area. They would like to contact the owners/driver of the vehicle to rule them out.
 
PC: She has never run away in the past. LE Does not believe she ran away.
 
I assume it was verified she did attend summer school that morning?

Praying this SUV of interest is found soon and Norma is found safely soon.
 
Everything I have seen/read seems to say she attended the class from 8-10 and then had plans to meet a friend and her sister after.

Also new, her family searched for her for 2 hours before calling police. They are the ones that found her belongings.
 
SNIpped...........................................

As she was headed to a home on Cottonwood Avenue, police believe she may have taken a shortcut through a dirt field that students often use, police said.

Witnesses reported she may have been forced into a green sports utility vehicle that was seen speeding away from the scene against her will

So if she had a routine for summer school, 8:00 am to 10:00 am someone could have been watching her daily especially if she walked the same way every time she went to school and back home......

Prayers for Norma, I hope she is found quickly and safely

I hope they find her soon. This doesn't look good at all. Have there been any reports about a boyfriend or if anyone has noticed anyone trying to pick up girls in the area?
 
Not again! I pray they find this beautiful girl soon. I wish LE would at least say whether she had a cell phone with her or if it was among the belongings they found.

I hope she's ok.
