It seems the link you attempted to post is not allowed on websleuths.

This was posted as a possible connection? This teen also went missing later the same day, within a decent proximity.

Yes, many teens have worn makeup since at least the 1950's if not earlier. If they wore too much their parents made them take it off, or else they got a "reputation."But at least it was only a local reputation. The majority wore age appropriate makeup or none.
The concern now is not just the makeup, but the makeup combined with selfies. It's only been since FB, Instagram, etc that teens wearing age-inappropriate makeup have been able to spread their images (selfies) all over. It breeds narcissism and they can become potential targets for predators. There is tremendous peer pressure to post sexy/seductive, heavily made up, pouty-lip photos at a young age. That pressure can cause too many pretty young girls like Alexis, as shown in the original wholesome news photo, to leave their childhood/teens behind prematurely in order to look much older than they really are...and present themselves as sex objects on the internet. Is this really the image we want our teens to strive for, especially in cyberspace? It's a widespread trend I find very disturbing.

Waterworks Rd. is pretty rural. Google maps street view is not even available along it.

Thank you lilibet for so eloquently explaining my comment!!!! You nailed it!
I am a local - Waterworks does have some isolated lots but mostly is pretty populated. There are a lot of homes in this area. It's about 3-5 minutes from my house.
There have not been many posts about this on Facebook. Hopefully she'll be home soon.

Can you give an update on the status of the search? Any new information come to light (no names of possible suspects) as of today? I do not have a Facebook and I apologize for not being able to see those posts.
The missing poster says when grandad went to pick her up for school she told him she was ill and staying home.
For now i will go with runaway possibly with an online predator.
And it concerns me that she's 16 going on 30. And unless she's a runaway, I think it's very possible that something's going on with a somewhat older man, predator type. Or, she could have run away with such a person, which could still end up badly., I'm hoping I'm wrong.![]()
I haven't seen any type of update today. I searched the local news agencies and all of their stories are from two days ago. If I see anything I will be sure to pass it along.
It seems awfully quiet, news wise, for a missing teenager.
