9:31 PM UPDATE: Kristin Storm just confirmed to WSB that her daughter Alex is home safe. Thanks to WSB’er “Ad” for the original report in comments (p.s. Kristin has posted there too).
ORIGINAL 11:58 AM STORY: Kristin Storm is asking for your help in finding her runaway daughter Alex. Here’s what she just e-mailed us:
My daughter, Alex Storm (age 14, 5’4″, 120 lbs) has been missing since Sunday, February 6th at around 10:00 pm. At around 9:30 pm I discovered that Alex was trying to help another runaway when I found the girl in her bedroom. After calling the girl’s father he requested that I call the police due to her being a repeated runaway and has a warrant out for her arrest as a suspect in a robbery. The girl panicked and jumped out my daughter’s window and called for Alex to follow her. They both left with the clothes on their backs. At that time Alex was wearing a white puffy jacket with a hood with fur trim, but as she’s been spotted around the West Seattle area it appears she may have other clothes. The other girl, according to the father, probably had $1,000 on her.
I have been networking with West Seattle community centers and parks, police, friends and local business and have posters up at several bus stops along Delridge and 16th Ave SW from South Seattle Community College to Westwood Village. These are the areas she may be frequenting, including Denny Middle School and Sealth High School, especially around lunch time and after school typically with a mixed group of teenagers. She may also be seen on the bus routes in West Seattle, especially the 120, 125 and 128.
According to one of my sources, my daughter’s friend is not allowed to return to many of the places that would be safe for her to stay due to her behavior, so I’m extremely worried for my daughter’s safey as I haven’t been able to determine where she’s staying. It appears that some of Alex’s friends are trying to help me find her and some of her friends are trying to help hide her which so far has been a catch 22 as I’m always one step behind. The friends that know both girls are both worried and very surprised that Alex befriended this person and runaway with her.
I want to send the message out that I just want Alex to know that she can come home safely. She is not in trouble with the police (running away is not illegal and therefore not a crime, they are just trying to help me find her) and I’m not trying to get anyone else involved in trouble. I just want her to come home. I love her very much as well as her friends, family and pets. We all miss her.
If anyone spots her please call me at 206-290-5956 so I can take down the information very quickly and then head that way and then call 9-1-1 to report her being seen as well.
