A teenage girl may be at risk for sexual exploitation after she is thought to have ran away with a man who traveled to Virginia from Illinois to meet her, WSLS reported on Wednesday.
Aysia Monique Lewis, 16, was last seen when school let out on Monday. Police believe Donald "Bruce" Quesenberry drove from his home in Normal, Illinois to Christiansburg, V.A. to meet Aysia, who likely went with the man willingly. They are in a 2002 light gold Altima with Illinois license plate N74-6924.
Neither of the two have reached out to loved ones since Monday afternoon.
Due to her age and nature of the disappearance, investigators believe she's at risk of being sexually exploited. She is being considered an endangered missing person.
It's not clear whether Quesenberry and Aysia are still local or have left town.
Aysia has brown eyes and black hair with red highlights, standing 5 foot 3 inches and weighing about 160 pounds. She was last seen wearing brown moccasin-style shoes, a black fleece, navy blue T-shirt and light colored jeans.
Quesenberry stands 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs around 195 pounds with brown eyes, WJHL reported.
Brandon Lewis and Teneara Dial, Aysia's parents, had a message they wanted to relay to her:
"Aysia, we love you!! We are worried about you! We need to know that you are OK! Please come home. Call us, text us, Facebook us. Get in touch with us however you can. We will come get you no matter what, no matter where, whatever time, it doesn't matter. Unique and Eric miss you. Unique wants to know where you are and when you are coming home."
