OAK HARBOR - "It's just not like her. It's that gut feeling in me that says 'it's just not like her,'" said Mary Jimenez about her daughter, Elaine Sepulveda.
Elaine disappeared without a word. The 15-year-old went to a party Friday night and returned about 15 minutes before her curfew early Saturday morning.
But the next morning she was gone and her family reported her missing.
"I found her purse, I found her ID, I found her money, I found her clothes. Everything was here," said her mother. "So, I thought, where is she?"
For four days the family has put up posters, and worried.
Oak Harbor Police said Elaine's disappearance is suspicious and believe the young girl may have been four months pregnant.
"An individual claims to have seen her at 2:00 AM," said Mary. That person would be the last to see Elaine Saturday morning.
But no one will say anything official about who that person is or what he or she knows.
Mary still hopes she'll hear from her daughter any minute.
"As a parent you have that fear of losing a child," she said. "Well I've had that since I came home and I couldn't find her."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Sgt. Jerry Baker at 360- 240-2818 days and 360-679-9567 evenings and weekends.
