Fiona Galvin says she is living "any mother's worst nightmare" after her daughter disappeared from their home in the northwest suburbs on May 6.
“I can hardly even breathe without knowing where she is," Galvin said through tears. "It's horrible. I just want her home."
Kianna Galvin, 17, left her house in South Elgin around 12:30 p.m. on Friday, May 6, according to the South Elgin Police Department. Authorities said she told her sister she was going to a park just three blocks away, and would be back in a few hours.
"It was Mother's Day. We had plans," her mother said. "She was gonna cook out steaks we had just bought the day before she went missing."
"She left everything at home, her purse, her wallet, everything a young girl would take with her if she was planning to leave for a few days," added family friend Carolyn Cynowa.
U.S. Marshals and several suburban police departments are now assisting the South Elgin police in the investigation. Authorities are in the process of retrieving cell phone and social media records.
“We're looking at this as a missing person, but can't say either way whether it was something foul play or a runaway,” said Sgt. Randy Endean of the South Elgin Police
