Police along the South Shore are continuing their search for a 17-year-old girl who hasn’t been seen since Saturday.
Shayla Weber left her home to go skateboarding and neighbors said Shayla may have gotten into a white pickup truck.
Family members tell FOX25’s Jacqui Heinrich they don’t know anyone with a vehicle matching that description, and with Shayla being gone for more than 48 hours they’re starting to get desperate.
"Moms intuition -- I believe she's safe. I believe she's somewhere out there safe, I don't know if she's with somebody dangerous or not, I really don't know. I know she's not with any of her friends,” Denise Weber said.
Shayla is a straight-A student at Pelham Academy in Lexington, where she is supposed to be back at school on Tuesday.
There have been times in the past where Shayla has left home, her mother said, but never before with a person unknown to the family.
"We'll fight to have you come home we just want you to come home we love you so much. Please come home for me,” Shayla's sister Mia said.
Shayla is 5 feet, 2 inches tall and weighs about 160 pounds. She has reddish hair with dark streaks, a septum piercing, a scar on her chest from heart surgery and a tattoo of a music staff in the shape of a heart on her wrist.
Monday night, parishioners gathered at St. Paul's Church to hold a vigil and pray for the teen's safe return.
