Missing Missouri Teens Who Vanished during a Football game
Hunt Is on for Missing Missouri Teens Who Vanished During Football Game
Wednesday, October 22, 2008
FOX NEWS
Christina 'Paige' Alley
Levi Carlson
Police continued to hunt for clues into the whereabouts of two missing Missouri teens who disappeared during a football game and have called the boy a suspect — but stopped short of saying they believe he kidnapped the girl.
An Amber Alert issued Tuesday remained in effect for Christina "Paige" Alley, 14, and Levi Carlson, 16, who were last seen Friday night in a maroon 1996 Toyota Avalon with Missouri plate number PD0 A5U, MyFOXKC.com reported.
They vanished during a football game in Lathrop. Alley performed in the band at the game's halftime show and then got permission to leave.
When the pair didn't come home at all that night, Alley's parents called police, MyFOXKC.com reported.
Carlson was originally identified as a victim, but police have now named him a suspect, according to MyFOXKC.com.
Clinton County Sheriff's Major John Farmer said police twice asked the Missouri Highway Patrol to issue an Amber Alert for the couple, beginning Friday night. Both times, they were denied because they couldn't prove that an abduction had taken place — a criterion for an Amber Alert.
"We're not holding it as an abduction — that's the way the patrol has to put it out — and we haven't got that far that they have been abducted," Farmer told MyFOXKC.com.
"But the problem is, she was just the type of girl that kept in constant contact with her parents when she was out. If she was going to be late, she kept in contact. And there's been no contact at all."
So far, there has been no record that the pair have used the credit cards they had with them when they disappeared. Searches of woods in the area have turned up nothing.
Alley's cousin Derek Bohi told FOX News that the couple grew up together but have only been dating for about a month.
Bohi said that Carlson has been acting "weird" in recent days — getting into an argument with a youth pastor at church on Wednesday and a fight the following day with his father.
In an even more bizarre twist, the night the teen fought with the pastor, his stepmother had a heart attack and had to be rushed to the hospital, the Carlson family told FOX News.
Alley appeared visibly upset Friday during the band performance, Bohi said, relaying what her friends told investigators. She was seen talking on her cell phone before asking the director to leave for a family emergency, the friends said.
Alley then reportedly changed out of her uniform, leaving it in the locker room along with her phone and flute, Bohi said.
She is now being called an "endangered missing" person, according to her cousin.
Alley is 5' 2", 130 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a blue shirt with black pants and sandals and has a round birth mark on her hip.
Carlson is 5' 10", 225 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes.
A Web site apparently set up by family or friends suggests that the couple may be headed toward Arkansas, California or Colorado, MyFOXKC.com reported. The site also suggests that Carlson is bi-polar and may be off his medication.
Anyone with any information is asked to call the Clinton County Sheriff's Department at (816) 539-2156.

Let's hope and pray that these two are found alive and well. Man, has this become an epidemic?

Where are Paige and Levi?
Teenage Couple Last Seen Nearly a Week Ago; Family Thinks Daughter May Be in Danger
Two Missouri families, desperate with worry and fear, are searching for their teenage children who apparently left a high school football game together nearly a week ago and haven't been seen since.
An Amber Alert has been issued for Christina "Paige" Alley, 14, who police think may be with boyfriend Levi Carlson, 16, in Levi's stepmother's missing maroon 1996 Toyota Avalon.
Levi's family fears the catalyst for the disappearance might be a series of tragedies in his life, from his grandfathers' death and sister's miscarriage last month to a violent fight he had with his father that landed Levi's stepmother in the hospital.
His father, Denny Carlson, told ABCNews.com today that Levi had been angry and questioning his relationship with God.
"We want him to come home where we can love him. We can get through anything as a family," Carlson told ABCNews.com.
According to a Web site set up by Paige's family after the dissappearence, Levi is "known to be bipolar and off his meds."
Levi's father confirmed his son's condition, adding that his son hated the "bipolar" label.
The Clinton County Sheriff's Department tried to get an Amber Alert issued shortly after the teens disappeared Friday, Maj. John Farmer said, but the department was told by the Missouri State Highway Patrol that the case didn't meet the criteria since there was no proof that either teen had been abducted.
"Originally, we though it could have been just a runaway deal," Farmer said.
But after pressure from the Alley family, the alert was issued earlier this week. For that to happen, Levi had to be formally named a suspect in Paige's disappearance.
But Farmer pointed out that no one really knows where the two are or what they are doing. Still, as more time goes by without a credible lead and with the added information about Levi's being off his medications and his scuffle with his dad, police are becoming increasingly concerned about Paige's safety.
"It's still all speculation," he said.
"She's 14 years old and she's with a boy that stole a car," Alley said. "Yes, I think she's in danger."
Paige, according to both police and her father, was always very good about staying in close contact with her family.
"I don't think it looks good," Farmer said. "It really doesn't."
Levi is not currently facing any charges.
Alley said that his daughter, a passionate musician who played four instruments, had been at the Lathrop High School football game for a band performance last Friday evening when she started getting calls from Levi.
Alley said Paige's friends told him they told the police that "she was getting very agitated" during Levi's calls during the football game and that Levi had said he was considering suicide.
At halftime, Paige asked her band director if she could be excused early. He gave her the keys to the band room, where she went to change into street clothes.
A janitor later found the keys on the floor near the band room door, Alley told ABCNews.com. Paige's flute, piccolo, band uniform and cell phone were later found inside the band room. Alley said students at the game reported seeing the couple, who had been dating for several weeks, walking around the track together.
Alley says he called police after he went to pick his daughter up from the game and couldn't find her. Carlson says he called police shortly after, when he returned home from visiting his wife in the hospital and found her car missing.
Neither teen has a driver's license.
Carlson said that he and Levi, a junior and volunteer firefighter, had gotten into a shoving match at home two days earlier after their minister reported that Levi had recently been disruptive with his questions about God during a youth group church meeting.
During the fight, the two damaged a wall and, after police were called, emergency workers brought Carlons' wife, Kathy Carlson, to the hospital with chest pains.
Doctors later determined she'd had a heart attack caused by stress.
"He just kept saying over and over, 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,'" Carlson said of Levi's reaction later in the hospital. "I said, 'Son, we can get through this together -- as a family.'"
Nuturing a Friend in Need
Alley said his daughter is "a helper, the type that wants to nurture everybody" -- a sentiment echoed by Levi's father.
Like Paige, Levi was an enthusiastic guitar player, and Carlson said his electric guitar, but not an amplifier, had been taken from the home. Alley said Paige appears to have her purse with her and a Stephen King book she was reading.
The Web site says authorities believe Levi may try to pawn his guitar for money on the road.
Runaway or Captive?
Alley said he allowed his daughter to date Levi, whose class ring she kept on a chain around her neck, because the two attended different high schools and typically only saw each other at church-related activities. The families have known each other for years and are cooperating with each other now, trying to bring their children home.
Still, both parents issued pleas to their children.
"Come home if you can," Alley said, urging his daughter to do anything she can to call or send an e-mail home.
Carlson said of his son, his voice cracking: "He's just a hurt kid that made a really, really bad decision."

Two Missouri teenagers who disappeared during a football game earlier this month have been found safe in Iowa, MyFOXKC.com reports.
Parents of Christina "Paige" Alley, 14, and Levi Carlson, 16, confirmed that their children have been found safe in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Paige's parents said they were told of the discovery late Sunday afternoon and immediately left for Council Bluffs to be with their daughter, MyFOXKC.com reports.
The teens vanished during a football game on Oct. 17 in Lathrop, Mo. Alley performed in the band at the game's halftime show and then got permission to leave.
