Hannah Thomas-Garner, 17, of Ashland, Oregon was discovered missing by her mother at 8:30 a.m. Sunday November 30, 2014. It is believed that she snuck out the previous evening to attend a large party in the mountains east of Ashland off Dead Indian Memorial Road. Her damaged car with smashed windshield was found late Sunday night in Mt Shasta city behind a shopping center. Her phone, minus SIM card and camera minus battery were found in the car. Although there were early sightings of a girl matching Hannah's description in towns nearby, these were later debunked. There was a rumor of a pact to run away with two other girls, and one of the girls, SD, did run away, but said that Hannah was never with her. As of 12/26/14, there has been no word from Hannah.

December 11--Police do not worry that Hannah is in danger :banghead:

BBM

Hannah Thomas-Garner apparently ran away after a party in rural Jackson County on Nov. 29, driving her mother's 2012 Ford Focus. The vehicle was found abandoned near Shasta City, Calif., two days later. A driver who picked her up hitchhiking reported to police that she appeared to be healthy and in good spirits and was trying to reach the Fresno area or someplace warm.

Another witness saw a girl matching her description hitchhiking south on Interstate 5 near Dunsmuir, Calif., south of the town of Mt. Shasta.

There's been no sightings of her since, said Tighe O'Meara, Ashland's deputy police chief.

"It looks like more of a runaway situation than foul play," O'Meara said. "We don't believe she's in jeopardy

December 18--Ashland Daily Tidings article about the Candlelight Vigil

Disturbing comment by a fellow student plus other comments and information:

McDowell said she’s heard from “different people” that Thomas-Garner, called Moose, is “with someone and being fed and is not on the freeway, which is very dangerous. Moose, if you hear this, get in contact with your parents and let us know you’re alive.”

December 18--Huffington Post interview with Hannah's Dad by David Lohr

The father of a missing Oregon teen who police suspect of being a runaway said he does not believe his daughter is responsible for her own disappearance.

"There's no way," Hannah Thomas-Garner's father, Jeff Garner, told The Huffington Post. "I know my daughter and she's never run away."

On the evening of Dec. 1, a man contacted authorities after seeing a news report about Thomas-Garner's disappearance. He reportedly said he gave a hitchhiker -- who matched the teen's description -- a ride from the city of Mt. Shasta to Dunsmuir, California.

"We went down and talked to that person [and] we think that was good information," said Falls.

Garner said he is not convinced the hitchhiking girl was his daughter.

"At that point, her picture had already been released and the guy had seen them, so we don't really know if it was her," said the missing teen's dad.
