Family: Missing 13-Year-Old Ran Off With Man She

Pittsylvania Co., VA -- Family and friends are desperately searching for a 13-year-old Pittsylvania County girl who's been missing since Tuesday. Family members think Jennifer Renee Adams ran off with a man she met online.

Her mother says she feels like she is living her worst fear. She says her daughter loved to draw, play football and do normal kid activities. She says she never thought this would happen to her.

"I just pray she is safe. Whatever is going on I pray she is safe," says Jeannette Adams, her mother.

The last time Jennifer's family says they saw her was just before she got into a car outside of her Aunt's house on Tuesday night.

"She said, 'I love you Uncle Wendy,' gave me a kiss and a hug. I said, 'I love you too. Be good.' That was it," says Wendy Adams, Jennifer's aunt.

Jennifer told everyone she planned on attending a friend's party. Now, loved ones says she lived a double life.

"I had seen and heard about all the things that can happen from that and now I am living it," says Jeannette Adams.

Family members say Jennifer struggled with depression and have found out she regularly attended online chat forums, talking possibly with older men. Her family members suspects one of those connections took her somewhere.

"I had no idea none of this was going on," said Wendy Adams.

"I've warned her all her life about talking to strangers and not going off with anyone. But the way I think she has been back and forth with this person she thinks she has a repertoire with them," said Jeannette Adams.

With nearly no clues to her whereabouts, no cell phone connection, and only hope, they pray that she will return home.

"Other than praying that God has his hands on her and is protecting her and watching over her that she is okay," said Jeannette Adams.

Jennifer is 5'1'' and about 150 pounds. She has brown hair and hazel eyes. She was last seen wearing jeans and a black shirt with art work on it.

If you have any information call the Pittsylvania County Sheriff's Department at 434-432-7931.

UPDATE: Missing Ringgold teen found safe in eastern N.C.

Jennifer Renee Adams —the Ringgold teen who was reported missing Wednesday —was located safe and unharmed late Friday night by the Pittsylvania County Sheriff’s Office.

She was found in eastern North Carolina, according to Pittsylvania County Sheriff Mike Taylor.

“She was safe and unharmed and was with friends she had recently met,” the sheriff said.

Investigators located her by interviewing friends and social media.

“At this time she is being transported back to her home in Pittsylvania County,” said Devin Taylor, a crime analyst with the sheriff’s office.

The mother of Jennifer Renee Adams, 13, spoke out earlier Friday during an emotional interview with the Danville Register & Bee, calling the ordeal her “worst nightmare come true.”

Jeannette Adams said she was last seen getting into a car Tuesday in Milton, N.C. She was at an aunt’s house just before she went missing.

“She was supposed to be going to a birthday party,” said Adams.

“She didn’t seem like anything was wrong,” Adams said. Adams was last seen near the Riverbend Road area of Milton N.C., at about 6 p.m. Tuesday. The teen’s mother had seen her before school that morning.

Adams is a seventh-grader at Dan River Middle School.

The teen was expected to go to the party with a friend from summer school and spend Tuesday night with her, but she was not in class the next day, Adams said. Also, there was no birthday party, said Jennifer Adams’ aunt, Nicole Matherly.

When she left her house Tuesday, Jennifer Adams, who always wanted to go to California, carried just “a little bitty purse” and no extra clothes or money, her mother said.

Jeannette Adams said she called 911 and reported her missing to the Pittsylvania County Sheriff’s Office at around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Adams is described as a white female, 5-foot, 1-inch tall, weighing about 150 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. She was last seen wearing blue jeans and a black T-shirt with doodle art work on the shirt, according to a news release.

Pittsylvania County Sheriff Mike Taylor said she left her aunt’s house walking to meet friends. Investigators spent Thursday night following leads and Friday interviewing the teen’s friends and relatives. The Pittsylvania County Sheriff’s Office, with help from the Caswell County, N.C., Sheriff’s Office, is searching for the missing juvenile.

A distraught Jeannette Adams said her daughter loves to read mystery and vampire novels —especially the Twilight series —sing and write and is learning to play the guitar and piano.

“She loves all kinds of music,” Adams said, adding that her favorite band is A7X.

Just a day before she disappeared, the teen and her mother had checked out books from the Danville Public Library.

“She’s a very talented young girl and has a lot to live for,” Adams said. “We just need to get her back so she can.”

Jennifer’s Aunt Nicole, who is not the aunt she was visiting Tuesday, described the teen as “a real sweet, loving girl.”

“[She is] sometimes a little depressed, other than that, she’s a happy girl,” Matherly said.

A Facebook member, Vickie Rivero, who commented on an online story about Adams on GoDanRiver.com, said she saw someone matching Adams’ description walking along Kentuck Church Road in Ringgold at around 2 p.m. Thursday.

The individual was wearing dark blue jeans and a black shirt tied in the back with a white shirt underneath, Rivero said. She was carrying a small black purse and drinking an Icee, Rivero said. The person was by herself but there was a group of girls walking toward her.
