(BBM)CONWAY, N.H. A North Conway girl who has been missing since October was in touch with her mother after her disappearance, officials said Thursday.
Law enforcement officials said that Abigail Hernandez, 15, was in touch with her mother after she disappeared Oct. 9, but that contact was not recent. No details of the nature of the contact were released.
The FBI said it developed this information a couple of weeks ago. Law enforcement officials previously said there had been no contact with Abigail since she disappeared.
"We don't know that she is well or safe by any means," said special agent Kieran Ramsey. "In fact, we have grave concerns for her safety."
Officials plan to hold a news conference Friday to release new information.
Abigail was last seen leaving Kennett High School. Police said she walked her normal route toward home and sent several texts that afternoon, but never made it home.

My question, which I understand cannot be answered by MSM at this time, is how sure can they be it's really Abby if there truly has been contact? It's in an abductor's best interests to make it appear like a runaway situation. I'm not sure definitive proof of safety/voluntary disappearance would have warranted the most recent press conference, which was nonetheless so carefully worded. You'd think more attention and press conferences would make a runaway less likely to return.
Also, all of the reports on this still say "weeks after her disappearance" and not "after running away" or the like. I'm wondering if that's just the standard wording. Obviously there's more to it if they have "grave concerns for her safety."
She could be with someone she trusts, but that person may be unstable.
Just reading the comments on WMUR under the article and it makes me want to smack them upside the head. Regardless of whether she ran away or was abducted, we're talking a 14 year old CHILD, and the danger is the same. I'll be relieved and overjoyed to see her back safely home regardless of how she came to be a missing person. Spitting mad here at anyone who would in ANY way shape or form be angry about her disappearance.
people are so ignorant and THAT angers me!!!!!
