Reward announced for missing Indiana teen

Reward announced for missing Indiana teen, The mother of a missing Indiana teen announced a $1,000 reward tonight for information leading directly to the safe return of her daughter.

Seventeen-year-old Hannah Graham disappeared between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., Monday, March 11, 2013, from her home in Crown Point, Indiana. Hannah told her younger brother that her grandfather was at the house to pick her up, and walked out the door. However, Hannah’s grandfather confirmed by phone around 9:30 p.m. that evening he did not pick Hannah up from the home; she was then reported missing to police.

All of Hannah’s shoes are missing from her home, and it appears she did take personal belongings with her. Along with those personal items, several articles of clothing are missing, including her coveted soccer uniforms. Hannah has played for both the Chicago Fire Jr. and the Delaware County Futbol Club (DCFC) in Muncie, IN.

Although Hannah has reached out via phone to leave messages for her family through 1-800-RUNAWAY, no one has seen her since March 11, 2013.

Hannah’s mother, Kimberly Graham, is asking the public for help in locating her daughter — who may still be in the Hoosier State — anywhere from Crown Point in the north to Muncie in the south. It is also possible she could be in the Chicagoland area.

Prior to her disappearance, Hannah Graham was a senior attending The Indiana Academy for Science, Mathematics and Humanities, on the campus of Ball State University in Muncie, IN. The school, according to its website, “serves as a residential high school for approximately 300 gifted and talented juniors and seniors from across the state of Indiana.” It is possible Hannah could be with friends or even adults in the Muncie area whom she met through her studies at The Academy.

Hannah Renee Graham is 5’4″, weighing 125 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes, and pierced ears. She suffers from a heart condition, and may need medical care.

Several thousand people have shared Hannah’s fliers online over the last seven weeks; however, there have been no sightings of the missing teen.

A $1,000 reward is being offered by Hannah’s family for information leading to her safe return. Online users may send a tip regarding Hannah’s whereabouts by visiting her Facebook page.

LaPorte County, IN, based missing persons’ organization Moms on a Mission is assisting with reward tips and leads, as their team is experienced in working with — and tracking down — missing and endangered teens.
