According to an earlier report:
On Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2009 at approximately 10:45 PM, the girl's grandmother heard a vehicle pull away from the house and looked outside and saw taillights leaving the residence.
A close friend told officials that the female told her on the school bus that she was going to run away with a man named Larry Ryan Smith from Atlanta.
The teenager's name has been removed from this article due to recent charges that have been filed against Smith.
