“Her family believes she may be being held against her will in the Fulton, Missouri area,” read a Facebook post from the nonprofit group Missouri Missing.

“However, she could be anywhere. Her phone is not with her,” the flyer added.

Emilee is described as being 5 feet 4 inches tall and around 130 pounds.

According to Ashland Police Chief Gabe Edwards, Emilee likely slashed her bedroom window screen and ran away unbeknownst to her parents.

In a video posted Tuesday by the Missing Person Awareness Network, Edwards explained that Emilee’s disappearance does not meet the criteria for an Amber Alert.

Criteria include a reasonable belief that a kidnapping has occurred, a credible threat of serious injury or death, and descriptive information about the victim and the kidnapper.

“None of the criteria could be met,” Edwards added.

Emile’s parents Pete and Jennifer Anders also appeared in the video to make the case for their daughter’s return home.

“If you know anything, please come forward. If you are a parent, you know this is scary for our family. My priority is to make sure Emilee gets home safely,” said Pete Anders

The family has offered a $2,000 reward for information leading to their safe return.

The teenager’s relatives have also contacted her on social media.

In a video Tami Anders posted to Facebook, her relatives tell her “she’s not in trouble.”

“All we want is for you to come home. You have no problems, please just come home,” Tami said, adding that Emilee had previously left without permission but returned in less than six hours.

“This time she left and didn’t take anything with her. Not her phone, no jacket, nothing,” she said.

A candlelight vigil was planned for Wednesday evening.

Anyone with information about Emilee’s whereabouts should call the Ashland, Missouri Police Department at 573-442-6131 or Whiteside County Dispatch at 815-772-4044.
