Law enforcement is using helicopters to scan the area for Alexis Murphy. The FBI is also involved in the search.

When asked if the 17-year-old Murphy was abducted, Nelson County Sheriff's Office investigator Billy Mays declined to comment. Murphy was last seen around 6 p.m. Saturday.

"We just want her to come home safe," Mays said.

According to family friend Brandon Bell, Murphy told friends that she was going to Lynchburg to meet a friend. Murphy hasn’t been heard from since.

"No comment" re: abduction? That's interesting, isn't it?

I wonder about the friend she was going to meet...who was it, how did they know each other, did the meeting take place as planned, etc.?

Lynchburg is about 35 miles away from Shipman.

After the news conference was over, the camera was still rolling and one of the reporters was heard asking the detective if the car had been located and he said no comment. The reporter asked again and he said no, it had not been found.

That's what I was thinking too, when the reporter asked the detective about the FBI.

internet predator?!?!

 

[beachlvr0810]

Someone has posted a photo of her on FB and they are saying she is driving a white 2003 Nissan ALTIMA...the detective said she is driving a MAXIMA.

Is it ok to post the link to the FB page with the missing person's photo of Alexis? It's the Rustburg Trading Post page.

 

[nursebeeme]

Yes that is fine

 

[No Stone Unturned]

Found her twitter. Wasn't sure it was her earlier, but then I found a matching photo to the one CatFancier posted. Definitely her.

Contains literally hundreds of videos and photos.

Warning: sexually explicit.

So....I'm confused...was Alexis seen at the shopping mall/store she was headed to at 7:15pm?

If not, who saw her and where at 7:15pm since according to this link her family last saw her at 6pm?

FYI
City-data says 180 RSOs in Lynchburg as of today.
http://www.city-data.com/so/so-Lynchburg-Virginia.html

Homefacts says 34 in Nelson County.
http://www.homefacts.com/offenders/Virginia/Nelson-County.html

City data says 5 in Shipman.
http://www.city-data.com/soz/soz-22971.html

Does that make it more likely an internet predator could be involved?
