Girl, 15, vanishes 'with man, 41' and leaves behind note that is every parent's worst nightmare
A South Carolina teen vanished on Friday after leaving behind a suicide note and is believed to be with a 41-year-old man.
Chloe Renae Alexander, 15, was last seen in Gaffney, a city on the border of North and South Carolina, before vanishing, leaving behind her cell phone and the note.
The Gaffney Police Department has launched a search for the teen and is enlisting the public for help in the case.
Although it is unclear where Alexander went, police believe she has been communicating with a man named Ricky Dean Clinton. It's unclear what his relation is to the child.
Police said they have no reason to believe that Clinton is hurting Alexander. Authorities haven't disclosed what Alexander may be wearing.
Anyone with information on the teen's whereabouts has been asked to contact Major Brian Blanton with Gaffney Police.
A day before she disappeared, Alexander posted photos on her Facebook account with her parents and tagged the Anderson County Department of Children's Services.
'Mom, Dad, I can't even put in words how much I miss ya'll and love ya'll and only if i could have ya'll back in my life i would do anything,' she wrote in the caption.
'I really can't imagine my life without you guys. I love ya'll so much and I'm so thankful for God putting ya'll in my life.
'I'm so appreciative for all them things ya'll have done for me you I promise I will finish school and get my degree and make something out of my life.'
reached out to the Anderson County Department of Children's Services for more information on the post, but didn't immediately hear back.
Her mother also seems to be active on Facebook, asking for help from the public on Monday.
'Facebook community. I have started a community to help share information about the where abouts of my daughter. She is still missing,' the post read.
'If you think of anything or know anything, no matter how insignificant you might think it is, please contact someone.
Gaffney PD released a missing person alert for Alexander
'Police , anderson county sheriff's office or dss. If you see her. Let someone know immediately. Thank you.'
reached out to the Gaffney Police Department and Anderson County Sheriff's Office for an update on the case and clarification on Alexander's relationship to Clinton, but didn't immediately hear back.
