Dad finds a cryptic message on missing teenager Candace Rose Olson’s phone after she disappears while trying on homecoming dresses
A father has been desperately searching for his teenage daughter who he believes may have disappeared with a stranger.
Candace Rose Olson, 16, was last seen on September 9th trying on homecoming dresses. After she disappeared from her home in Texas, her father, Christopher Soto, had a strange idea where she had gone.

When Soto first entered his daughter’s room, he immediately noticed that Olsen was missing.
“The window was just wide open,” he said at the scene CBS affiliate KHOU-TV.
The worried father tried to call his daughter on Facetime, but a man answered the phone instead.
“I spoke to the Lord,” he said.
According to Soto, the unknown stranger found Olsen’s phone on the street and offered to return it.
He immediately called the local sheriff in Houston to accompany him.
When he retrieved the phone, he immediately noticed something was wrong.
All of her social media was completely deleted, but there was one unique message from someone offering to send an Uber.
“All I know is Hayden from Katy,” Soto said
Since then, Soto has filed a missing person report with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office and recruited other family members to post pictures of his daughter’s disappearance.
Olsen only moved in with her father in March of this year.
“It’s hard when you have a daughter you love,” he said.
“She just came here. I just got them. Now she’s gone. I do not know where she is. I just want her back.”
Because his daughter is missing, she is unable to take her medication for seizures and mental health issues.
Her father was worried about what might happen to his daughter during the weaning period.
“Quitting cold turkey can lead to suicidal thoughts,” Soto explained.
The retired veteran admitted Facebook that this is an extremely difficult time for his family as no new information has been revealed about his daughter since her disappearance.
“We just want Candace Rose to be home and we love her to death. This is so scary and disturbing as we have not received a single tip since the news report.”
