Family Fears Teen's Disappearance Linked To MySpace.com

POSTED: 4:19 am PDT June 21, 2006
UPDATED: 9:21 am PDT June 21, 2006

A Port Orchard family is mobilizing to find a missing teen whose disappearance may be linked to the Web site MySpace.com

The family of 15-year-old Kayla Molzahn will hand out hundreds of fliers with the teen's picture this week. Molzahn has been missing for more than a month.

The 15-year-old girl had been living in Port Orchard with her father when she disappeared after school. Her mother in Covington said she thinks her daughter was lured away by someone she met on the Internet.

"Police had told us that she was on a Web site called MySpace.com. She had met this guy and he was going to come and pick her up, and he did. We haven't heard from her since," said Tanya St. Pierre, Molzahn’s mother.

The family has filed a report with the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office. The Seattle Police Department has taken the computer hard drive the teen was using to search for possible leads.

"There's a lot of crazy people out there, and my biggest fear is that she's maybe being held against her will," said St Pierre.

Sheriff's deputies have asked for Molzahn’a dental records to forward to the State Patrol. Meanwhile, a member of the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office thinks the teen may have left willingly, but they are still investigating.

The search for the girl comes just as MySpace launches new efforts to make the social networking site safer for its younger users.

MySpace plans to put in new restrictions on how adults may contact underage users.
