Very Sad: Police Searching For Missing 15-Year-Old California Girl! (Found Cell Phone)

"Authorities in California said Tuesday that the
father of a 15-year-old girl who went missing last
week on her way to school is not a suspect in the
ongoing search.

"He is not a person of interest in Sierra’s
disappearance and has been fully cooperative since
the beginning of the investigation," police said
in a statement, according to MSNBC.

Friends, family and Morgan Hill community members
gathered for a vigil at Ann Sobrato High School to
grieve and pray for Sierra Lamar, who vanished
shortly after leaving her home around 6 a.m. last
Friday.

The girl's mother, Marlene Lamar, first learned
that her daughter was missing when she received a
message from the school's automated attendance
system.

As part of the investigation, authorities
interviewed registered sex offenders in the area,
among the girl's father, Steve Wayne LaMar. Police
say that both parents have been accommodating to
authorities and are not considered suspects at
this time.

Detectives are also poring over the girl's phone
records and web history in search of any clues,
Fox News reported.

"I want her home. We love you so much, we really
miss you," the girl's mother told the Morgan Hill
Times. "If there's somebody out there that knows
where she is, or is holding her against her will,
please find it in their heart to let her go and
let her come home to us.""- HuffingtonPost
