"I can’t imagine how hard this must be for them to try and understand what’s going on.

"I believe I speak for all her family and friends when I say that we are all incredibly worried about her and miss her so much it hurts, all everyone want is for her to come back from where ever she may be.

"Me and all my family and her friend urge anyone with any sort of information to come forward."
