11 is so so young. Please be safe little one. I can't even imagine how frantic her parents must be.

http://www.fox46charlotte.com/news/local-news/208210156-story This news station seems to have the latest update. It sounds like she made it home and then went missing. It would be helpful if we knew the exact location of her home, but haven't seen that mentioned anywhere yet. She has been missing over 8hrs. now. :notgood:

Ugh! So many things are running through my mind😢
I'm really hoping she's with a friend, in a sleepover. Where could she be?
I wonder if anyone is home when she gets home? Is her school bag at home? Does she have a phone? Social media?
Please be safe baby girl.
My 11 year old has a phone. Sadly he doesn't take it to school. Cases like these, make me want to rethink this staged.

Fingers crossed she is at a friends house.

If the reply to one of the comments is correct, she may be hiding out somewhere then.
I hope she is found soon, we have thunderstorms coming through right now. How scary to be out in this, especially that she's only 11!

I totally get an 11yo wanting an instagram but why is it public? Oi.

My daughter first got online about that age but everything was closely monitored and protected.

I was hoping to wake up to good news this morning 😕

Do we know if she was able to get to her house and inside the door before she disappeared? Is her back pack at home?

Officials said she got off the bus around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday. The bus driver saw her walk toward the back of her home, which is normal, according to police.

When Emily’s mother got home about 15 minutes later, she couldn't find her daughter. After a quick search of the area, she called police.

Emergency crews have set up a command center at the school as they search for the girl. Officers used K-9s overnight in an attempt to find the girl but came up empty.

The SBI and FBI are helping the sheriff's office in the investigation.

Catawba County Police are calling Dowdle's disappearance a "runaway missing persons case." However, that is not affecting the urgency in the search. Sherriff's deputies have been using bloodhounds throughout the night. The search party is scheduled to increase early Wednesday morning.
