‘All [Lehigh Valley] police departments are on the job but we need your eyes, please’ urged her father. A desperate search is underway after a panic-stricken 14-year-old girl “snuck out her parents’ house while her parents were sleeping” in Palmer Heights, Pennsylvania, according to officials.
Enci Wu, who goes by the nickname “Aubrey” and is described as a 145lbs Asian girl, was reported missing to the police after she fled her home after 6:30 p.m. Friday, the Palmer Township Police Department shared. Her father John Gehrmann said he last saw her wearing “a Nirvana band grey hoodie, black yoga pants, and white Nike Billie Eilish sneakers” but she has since been captured on video surveillance wearing a different outfit.
Wu is a freshman student at Easton Area High School in Pennsylvania. Police are now desperately appealing for any leads that can help track her down. “Our beautiful daughter is in the throes of a serious mental health crisis and has been missing for over 30 hours,” he wrote. “All [Lehigh Valley] police departments are on the job but we need your eyes, please.
“We live in Palmer and expect she is trying to get back to the area but doesn’t want to come home. Please help us get our daughter home safely so we can get her cared for.”. On Saturday, police received information that led them to believe Wu had been temporarily staying near Parkland High School in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
