(See the comments - sort by "All Comments." Her aunt LR posted several times, and there are also other posts worth reading. AP posted the last picture Erin saved to her Snapchat before her phone was turned off on January 27. The picture was taken inside a car and her family can't make much out of it (such as make of car or the driver.) They ask that if anyone else sees a clue in the picture, that they contact the family.)

Five days is a long time for a 12-year-old to be missing. She was also missing in December. That time, she was quickly located but the circumstances of how and where she was found are very concerning. There are comments on a FB page for her hometown of Byhalia that give a lot of information about her. In addition to the tragic loss of her brother, she has suffered a lot of loss and grief over the past two years. I can't post the link, but if you do a Google search for her, you should easily come up with the town's FB page. Her mother and her aunt are both posting in the comments and give details about when she was previously missing. They have real cause to be very concerned.

Interesting comments.

I think she’s been talking to someone and left with them, maybe the same person she met up with last time.
