On November 23, 2025, my 14-year-old child was visiting their dad in Lowell, IN. In the cover of night, my child left the home through the window. They trekked to a nearby truck stop diner off of I-65 and began to ask patrons of the restaurant for money, rides (to Texas), and to use their phone to make calls to an unknown person.

This was the last known sighting of my child. It's been a week. A week of posting flyers, while others peeled potatoes. A week of tears and sleepless nights, while others prepped turkey. A week of an empty chair at the dinner table, while others dusted off extra seating for their in-laws.

Our family is currently raising funds to assist in expenses of being able to offer a reward of $10,000 for information leading to my child’s whereabouts, and for private investigating services and expenses to assist the family in their whereabouts.
