A girl who's been missing for more than a week might be being held against her will, her parents fear, Radar has learned.
However, Police in Ashland, Missouri, have indicated they don't have reason to believe that 25-year-old Emilee Dubes was taken against her will. “We have not received credible information that the juvenile was taken against her will, is being held against her will, or that she is in danger,” Ashland Police Sgt. Andrew Worrall said earlier this month. “APD continues to follow leads to locate the juvenile so she can be reunited with her family.”
Dubes was last seen in Ashland on Dec. 4 after she vanished from her family's home overnight. The family filed a missing persons report after the girl left home without permission. The family has not seen or heard from her since.
