The parents of a 16-year-old Utah girl who disappeared on Friday are frantically trying to locate their daughter, believing she's been lured away by an older man she met online and is in danger.

Indica Hudderson's family have launched a full scale search for the teen, who vanished without her cell phone or any money, after police were treating it as a runaway case rather than foul play.

Bryan and Andrea Huddleston, from Alpine, said they had a minor argument with their daughter about school on Friday before they found a note saying she had left home. But they said one line in the message made them fear for her safety.

'The part that worries me is she says, "I'm fine; I'm being taken care of,"' Mrs Huddleston said to KSL.com. 'That doesn't sound right to me. It sounds like someone is luring her away.'

Advocacy groups are reminding parents about the importance of monitoring their children's online activities after 16-year-old Indica Huddleston, a junior at Lone Peak High School, left a note stating that she was running away, leaving her parents concerned about the possibility of unsavory people luring their daughter away from home.

"I didn't know that she was talking to the kind of people that she was talking to," Andrea Huddleston said of her daughter. "I should've done a better job of monitoring that."

Huddleston said she and her daughter had a small disagreement about Indica's schooling, but it didn't seem like anything serious until they found the note on Aug. 15 saying she was running away.

Indica Huddleston, 16, was last seen about 5 p.m. on Aug. 16. Her family found a note indicating that she had run away. But they also believe there is strong evidence to suggest she may have taken off with or been lured away by an older man she met on Facebook. / Facebook

HIGHLAND — Police investigating the disappearance of a 16-year-old girl may be elevating her status to an endangered missing person.

Although that won't necessarily change the way the investigation into what happened to Indica Huddleston is handled, police hope the new label will draw more attention from the public.

"The fact that she's been gone now for six days, hasn't contacted anybody, you know, relatives or friends that we are aware of … we are looking at maybe elevating this more from a runaway to a missing child," said Lone Peak police detective Dave Ventrano.

Indica Huddleston has been missing since Aug. 16, 2013 and is believed to be in Seatle, Los Angeles or Las Vegas according to a “FIND Indica Huddleston” facebook page started by her sister.

According to a release from the Lone Peak Police Department, Huddleston’s friends dropped her off at the station, and she said she was going to walk home. Later, they found a note in her room indicating “she was frustrated and would be taken care of,” the release said.

Updated: 8 hours ago

ALPINE — The search for a missing 16-year-old girl that raised questions about online safety and how police investigate possible runaway children ended Friday.

Indica Huddleston was found safe and uninjured shortly before 6 p.m. Friday and was interviewed Friday night by members of the Lone Peak Police Department and the FBI, her family confirmed.

Her mother, Andrea Huddleston, said the family did not have much information about where their daughter has been or who she may have been with, but said before they rushed out the door to be reunited with Indica that this was "the call we've been longing for."

Indica's father, Bryan Huddleston, said late Friday that law enforcement representatives hadn't told them anything about what has happened over the past week. He confirmed that a criminal investigation was ongoing and possible criminal charges were being considered.
