Amanda Kay Key, 40, and her daughter Haley Marie Vilven were last heard from on September 16, possibly near the El Monte bus station in Los Angeles County, said Key’s father, Steven Jindra.

“Their lives are in danger,” he told ABC News.

Jindra, 66, said his daughter and granddaughter had lived in Texas, but Key was then promoted and the two moved to Tulsa.

Once in Tulsa, Key lost her job and apartment, he said, but then she landed an interview in California so the two drove out there.

Jindra said he and Key spoke on September 15 while she was near the El Monte bus station in Los Angeles County, but then “we miscommunicated on how to get the money to her. She was running out of money and she was gonna catch a bus and take it to Houston.”

“She ended up not getting the money and by Sunday she was despondent,” he said. “And Sunday evening she borrowed a man’s phone and sent a text, and it was clear from the text she was very despondent. It sounded like she had a breakdown.”

“Jindra said the two likely are walking on foot with luggage. He's begging for anyone who may see them on a path, or at a park, to call the police.

"I'd like people in El Monte to really look at the pictures and see and think if they've seen them," he said.

The concerned father and grandfather said he hopes to "take them back to Houston and get them home and cared for. That’s the main thing.”

“Jindra believes his daughter may have had a problem with her medication because of the change he saw in a text he got from her.

“She was still sounding cognizant then,” Jindra said of the message he got from his daughter. “But then on Sunday evening, I got a text that showed that she was very distraught.”

They may have been seen near Union Station in Los Angeles or the El Monte bus station, where Jindra is handing out flyers with images of his daughter and granddaughter.

Jindra is concerned that his daughter doesn’t have a working cell phone, and wants her to know he’s in the Southern California area, ready to help.

“We want people in that area to really look on the roads, the paths,” he said. “She might have gone out to the woods, or to a park. It’s a dangerous situation.”

She could have also lost health insurance when she lost her job.

Oh no, worries about these two. The daughter must be scared. The sudden changes in routine can also trigger episodes.

Re losing medication coverage: we need to do better.

I wonder if they located her car that broke down? Also, I wonder how she knew the man whose phone she used to text her dad. Was he a stranger? It would seem he was the last to see them, I’d think he would be able to provide good info.
