She was at home. Then, she was gone. Now, multiple law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, have launched a major effort to find her. Her full name is SLP. Although there was talk early on that SP might have run away, authorities are concerned.

“I’ve been in an investigative position with this agency for three years now, and this is the first time we’ve had a missing juvenile go to this level,” Detective Jason Fillyaw with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said during a press conference Friday. “Usually, we locate them within 24 to 48 hours and they’re home safe.”

Monroe County Sheriff's Office searching for missing 14-year-old girl
The Monroe County Sheriff's Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation are asking for public assistance in the case of a missing teenage girl.

She may have traveled to the Corbin, Ky. area, Monroe County Sheriff's Office detectives saying at a press conference Friday that her two cell phones both pinged location last toward that area, about a mile and half across the Kentucky state line. The phones have been off since Jan. 14, authorities say.

For MCSO, this is the first time they have had a teenage girl go missing for this long, "at this level," and the first time they have had to involve the FBI to assist in the investigation and search for a missing teen, they said Friday afternoon.

The Pruitt family had just moved back to Madisonville from Lawrenceville, Ga. in late December, according to SP's father, Randall Pruitt, who spoke about his daughter alongside his wife, SP's mother, Christina Pruitt.

SP, a lover of horses, her pet raccoon and other family farm animals, being called their "farm girl," by her parents. Talking about SP's love of their family farm was the only time her parents managed to crack a smile through their tears.

SP is their oldest child of four.

Following the Friday press conference, investigators received "a few tips" regarding SP that they are looking into.

Parents of missing teen: "Please help us find our baby"
SP's parents joined the Monroe County Sheriff's Office in asking for your help to find SLP, 14, who was last seen on Saturday, January 13th at 11 p.m. at her Madisonville home. Officials say her mother went into her room on the morning of Jan. 14 at 4:30 a.m. and she was not there.

There isn't a description of what she was wearing, but authorities think she may have traveled to Corbin, Ky. Her cell phone was last "pinged" in that area on the morning of Jan. 14 at 5:15 a.m. to 5:30 a.m.

Fillyaw says they reached out to the sheriff's office in Corbin, who then checked the area. The phone showed it was within a "relative" distance to the welcome center, just over the state line in Kentucky.

The sheriff's office says SP's phone has not been active since "that last ping", and she has not used her cell phone or presented herself on social media since then. Investigators say she had two phones, one from her old residence, in Georgia, and another she got when her family moved to Monroe County,

No one has any information on why she would be or could be in Kentucky, Fillyaw said, and they are not able to track her phone while it's off.

Fillyaw says the sheriff's office has reached out to all cell carriers and social media outlets to get a report on SP's phone activity. The report is an excess of "2,000 pages," which the sheriff's office says they have combed through along with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

"There has been nothing in any of that reporting that led us to believe that she intended to run away or was speaking with anybody that would try to abduct her," Fillyaw said. SP's case has not been upgraded to an endangered child's case because they do not have any information "as far as her being in any direct danger."

"There's some information that we are withholding at this time," Fillyaw said. "Just to maintain the integrity of the investigation...[just in case] it could possibly turn into some kind of prosecution."

Kevin Rowson, a spokesperson for the FBI field office in Atlanta, said Pruitt used to live in Lawrenceville.

"The girl lived in Lawrenceville, Ga. for many years before moving to Knoxville four weeks before she disappeared. So she has many contacts here from school friends, etc.," Rowson said.

Sheriff, family ask for helping in locating missing teen
Pruitt was last seen around 11 p.m. on Jan. 13 and was noticed missing around 4 a.m. the next morning. Fillyaw said there were no signs of a struggle and there hadn’t been any indication Pruitt was wanting to run away.

“We’re at a dead end,” Fillyaw said. “The TBI and FBI are both assisting us with looking at traffic cameras and anywhere else a camera might be and the Sheriff’s Office in Corbin did search the area around a rest area at the state line, but we haven’t found anything.”

Pruitt has two phones, Fillyaw said, but neither is turned on and running at this time. Her parents, Randall and Christine Pruitt, said they do not know of any boyfriend she might have ran off with and that she was happy to just hang around the family farm and tend to animals.

“We’ve been looking at people she knew before the family moved here,” Fillyaw said, “and the people she knows now, but we haven’t found anything in that area either.”

The Pruitts said they had lived in Lawrenceville, Ga., before moving to this area at the end of December, but had roots here.

Randall Pruitt said he does not think his daughter is trying to get back to Georgia.

“She was happy to come here,” he said. “She’s a farm girl at heart and loves animals.”

SP loves horses, her pet raccoon and other family farm animals, her parents said on Friday, WATE reported, noting that the only time the girl's parents managed to crack a smile through tears was when they talked about their daughter's love for the family farm.

"We're very heartbroken," Christina Pruitt said Friday of the oldest of her four children. "I miss her. I don't understand...none of us understand."

"We love her dearly and we want her home -- I love you, and come home," the Pruitt parents said, finishing each other's sentences, according to WATE.

Fillyaw said the girl is not officially classified as endangered because authorities do not have information to suggest SP is in direct danger.

He also told reporters that he doesn’t believe the missing teenager intended to run away or was in communication with someone who wanted to abduct her.

Investigators searching for teen who vanished from home weeks ago
Law enforcement agencies in multiple states have joined authorities in Tennessee in searching for a teenage girl who disappeared from her home two weeks ago.

Fillyaw said SP has two cellphones with her and they pinged the morning of Jan. 14 near a welcome center in the Corbin, Kentucky, area, roughly 130 miles from her home. Investigators believe the teen may have been traveling north to an unknown destination.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office contacted authorities in Corbin, who searched for the girl but did not find her.

Her cellphones are no longer turned on, and she has not used social media since before she vanished, Fillyaw said.

“Life has just seized for us since the day she left,” SP's father, Randall Pruitt, said during the press conference.

14-year-old girl disappears from home, now missing for two weeks
The Pruitts say they moved to Madisonville from Lawrenceville, Georgia in late December.

Law enforcement reports they tracked a ping to SP's cell phone in Corbin, Kentucky on January 14 around 5:15 a.m.

That's about two and a half hours from her home.

“There has been nothing in any of that reporting that led us to believe that she intended to run away or was speaking with anybody that would try to abduct her,” Detective Jason Fillyaw said in an interview with WVLT.
