AMBER ALERT: Texas officials release photo of person interest in 14-year-old’s disappearance
 
A lot of disturbing posts on her different facebook pages about her "dating" older teens as far back as when she was 11 and "her mom doesn't care" and if anyone questioned it there was at least one person jumping on them saying "let her believe what she wants". I don't know if they were grooming her or they misunderstood her condition, because as far as I know dwarfism doesn't affect mental or hormonal development in that way, ie just because someone with dwarfism appears smaller in stature doesn't mean they are mentally child-like.
 
I couldn't help myself and had to send several messages to their facebooks accounts and on their public posts asking them where Willow is. These two will either produce her ASAP and say it wasn't a kidnapping, or she is dead and they likely will commit murder/suicide. IMO

I don't believe in happy endings any more in these situations :(

Adding a quote from that article ...

The sheriff’s office said a felony warrant for kidnapping was issued today for Austen Walker. Through the course of the investigation, authorities determined that Austen Walker and Willow Sirmans were in the company of Courtney Odum in a 2012 white Toyota Camry. This information was provided in the AMBER Alert and allowed authorities to locate Odum.

Authorities said after Odum was questioned by FBI Special Agents, it was confirmed that Austen Walker and Willow Sirmans were staying at a residence in the Louisville, KY area. This led to the operation that recovered Willow.

Both Austen Walker and Courtney Odum are in custody. The Van Zandt County Sheriff’s Office said more than 15 agencies came together as part of the joint investigation.​
