Have you seen Athena? Amber Alert issued for missing 7-year-old North Texas girl believed to be in danger​

A search is underway for a missing 7-year-old last seen Wednesday evening in Paradise, Texas, near Wise County.

Athena Strand was last seen wearing a gray and black long-sleeve shirt, blue jeans with flowers on front pockets and brown boots.

Authorities believe Athena may be in danger.

Authorities have not named a suspect at this time.

According to the DPS Amber Alert, 7-year-old Athena Strand was last seen at 8:45 p.m. on Nov. 30 in the 200 block of County Road 3573 near the town of Paradise, TX. Paradise is a town northwest of Fort Worth.

The alert said she was last seen wearing a gray long sleeve shirt with white flowers, blue jeans with white flowers on the pockets, and brown boots. She has pierced ears but no earrings and two red birthmarks on lower back.
 
The sheriff's department said there was an argument between Strand and her mother, and that the child's father wasn't home at the time. Additionally, they said foul play isn't suspected and that Strand likely ran away. However, authorities are not ruling out someone took her.

"We're looking at everything from the criminal standpoint or just a missing child so we're not going to leave anything unturned and we're not going to put the blinders on either," said Wise County Sheriff Lane Akin. "It could be any number of things and we're looking at all those possibilities."
 
A 7 year old runaway?

And a stepmom.

Does she always wear boots in the house? not saying it's impossible, many do wear their shoes inside. Many don't though.
 
Here are two Facebook discussion group for Athena.



I know things are RUMORS but... :sigh:
I can't see anything. I gather it's not good...?
 
"We know that there was a little bit of an argument between her and her step-mom last night but it isn't anything unusual," said Akin. "There was that argument then step-mom went to fix dinner, came back to get Athena, and Athena wasn't in her room."

"We definitely don't believe Athena ran off," said Keeland Kulbeth, Athena's aunt and sister to Athena's mom.

As crews continue to search for missing 7-year-old Athena Strand, the Wise County Office of Emergency Management is asking people hoping to volunteer in the search to stay clear of the area.

"At this time, we will not be utilizing volunteers to assist with the search," the department said Friday morning. "Arriving on scene at a large scale incident without being requested to a) offer to help or b) bring unrequested supplies, takes time and resources away from the task at hand."

The department advised people that the best way to assist in finding Athena was to share and "respect the information posted by official sources only." Any requests for supplies or volunteers would be announced on Wise County's social media.
