Missing Teenage Girl Kara Alongi Took Train To NYC, Grandfather Passes Flyers In Search of Lost Granddaughter
The latest update on the missing teenage girl Kara Alongi is that she had bought a train from New Jersey to New York City on Sunday evening, when she was first reported missing. The Rahway Train Station surveillance camera caught the 16-year-old on video waiting for the next train. Her Twitter post on Sunday was a hoax and had scared thousands of people who believed that she was in danger.
Now that the facts are out that she had voluntarily run away, her family, friends and police are on the search to bring the juvenile home.
Alongi's grandfather, Paul Alongi Sr., traveled to the NYC Penn Station with photo flyers of the girl. He spent Monday night passing the flyers out to hundreds of travelers in hopes of finding clues to where his lost granddaughter had gone.
Alongi Sr. pleaded to his granddaughter to "come home" in a message to Clark-Garwood Patch.
"We know that she might be embarrassed or even fearful," he said. "We just want her to know it's okay. Come on home. We just want you, honey."
The Clark New Jersey Police also released a message on Monday night, "Kara might feel that she will be in trouble if she comes home after this scare and causing a panic. At this point, all everyone cares about is seeing her safe and at her house where she belongs."
