Rochelle Battle, 16, disappeared almost two weeks ago. She's still missing and police are now pleading for your help.
Kelly McPherson reports on the search to bring the teen back home.
Investigators think Rochelle took a bus toward Eastpoint Mall on March 6.
The family has learned there is concern she may have met a man in his 30s in that area just before she disappeared.
Now, it's been 12 days since LaTarsha Cockey has seen or heard from her daughter.
"I want my daughter back. I want my daughter back. No living, breathing creature had the right to take her away from me. I want my daughter back. Somebody out there knows where she is and I want her back," she said.
Baltimore County Police are now asking for help, too.
Investigators spent several days at a Middle River junkyard scouring dumpsters, the woods and incendiary tanks, but in the end found no evidence of Rochelle or a crime. Now investigators need to hear from anyone who even saw the teen on Friday night, March 6.
"We don't need any more detail than that. If you have more details, that's wonderful," said Bill Toohey, Baltimore County Police spokesperson. "Detectives would like to hear that because they're trying to put together a puzzle piece by piece and they don't have many pieces."
Police say Rochelle left her Pimlico home and took the subway, then the 23 or 24 bus to eastern Baltimore County.
At 10 p.m., Rochelle's mother spoke to her daughter on her cell phone. She said she was shopping and would be home soon. LaTarsha called that number every day and left messages, but the phone eventually went dead. The mother hopes her daughter is alive.
If you have any information, please call Baltimore County Police.
