I never do this, but since it never happens our here in the Fox Valley. Something like this is every parent's nightmare. I don't know the circumstances, runaway, kidnapping, just a mistake of human error.. As of this point I'm not sure, but.....please take note

Samantha Starr who has been missing since Wednesday. She was last seen at Geneva High School on Wednesday, February 11. She is 15 years old and was last seen wearing blue jeans, a turquoise shirt, brown boots, and dark navy blue hooded jacket. Samantha has brown shoulder length hair, blue eyes and is 5'8 and 125 pounds. Samantha may be in the company of a female juvenile.

Samantha has friends in the Tri-City area and also in Elgin. If you see Samantha please contact the Geneva Police Department Investigations Unit at (630)232-4736.

Your prayers are appreciated until her safe return home to her family.hat anyone knows. But.....

I'm sure the parents of this beautiful young girls appreciate your efforts. I hope someone sees this blog or any other media exposure and brings her home safe and sound. You're exactly right, this is a parent's nightmare. As a mother of two I applaud your using all means to get the word out.

Larry, I am so glad I clicked on your blog. Earlier this evening I watched a show on MSNBC about teenagers getting kidnapped and being forced into slavery by pimps. This is so scary. The show said that often the police think teenagers are runaways and won't look for these girls. I will be praying for Samantha's safe return.
