Lindsey Diana Ryan
15 Yrs. 5' 115 lbs. with blond hair and braces missing from Jones MI, USA. Possibly wearing blue jeans and a T-shirt.
She is believed to be with Terry Drake, white, 56 yrs., 6' 4", balding, of Middlebury, IN. he has a large dragon shaped tattoo on his neck and is considered armed and dangerous. Police are looking for a white, 1995 Dodge Dakota pickup with Indiana tag 406211A.
Lindsey Ryan's blonde hair has been dyed black, according to witnesses who said they saw the pair traveling west on Interstate 80 through Wyoming, Utah and Nevada.
Cass County Sheriff Joseph Underwood Jr. said Lindsey and Drake, 56, a convicted murderer who lived in Middlebury, were spotted at a motel near Grass Valley, Calif. early Thursday morning.
California authorities have issued an Amber Alert for Lindsey, who had dyed her blonde hair black. The teen met Drake at church before developing a relationship with him on the Internet.
Officers from the California Highway Patrol, sheriff's offices and police agencies northeast of Sacramento searched camp sites and motels for the pair Thursday.
Anne DaVigo, a spokeswoman with the patrol, said Drake had made statements that he planned to camp along the Yuba River in Downieville, about 30 miles north of Grass Valley, she said.
Lindsay's parents, Patrick and Carol Ryan of Jones, Mich., have pleaded with Drake through the media to drop off their daughter at a church, law enforcement agency or other safe location.
Lindsey was discovered missing early Saturday when her mother went to wake her in her first-floor bedroom and found the door locked. After Ryan's father broke down the door, the parents saw that the window was open and that Lindsey was gone.
Cash and firearms were also missing from the home, her aunt, Catherine Nichols, told CNN. A computer's hard drive had also been erased, she said.
Two 14-year-old friends of Lindsey's have since revealed that Lindsey was carrying on an e-mail relationship with Drake, whom the family met through their church, Nichols said.
Although unsure how long the two were corresponding, relatives said the relationship was at least several weeks old, and that a diary and notes in Lindsey's room mentioned Drake.
Lindsey's friends now feel guilty for not revealing her Internet relationship sooner, her mother said. "They thought it was something that 14-year-old girls could handle."
Several police agencies in Michigan report that Drake has a history of kidnapping and murder in Knox County, Ind. Drake was convicted of murder in August of 1978 in Knox County, according to Knox County police. Drake served prison time for the conviction in Michigan City
Anyone with information is asked to call the Cass Cnty. PD at 269-445-2481 or dial 911.
