The parents of missing Bradford, Arkansas teen Hannah Osborn are pleading for her safe return, using social media to send messages directly to their daughter. They say they just want to know she is okay.
A search is underway for 17-year-old Hannah, who disappeared on Saturday night, August 10, after leaving her father’s home in Jackson County. Her family says they are desperate for answers.
Hannah’s father, Wesley Osborn, believes she may have met someone on Snapchat. He also mentioned that he noticed a vehicle on his road the night Hannah went missing, raising his fears of “foul play” or possible drug activity nearby.
‘We are all scared to death something has happened to you’
In a Facebook post, Wesley shared an emotional message for his daughter:
“Hannah I love you and we all just need to know that you are ok. Call someone and let us know you’re alive. Come home and give us a hug and tell us where you want to go or where you want to be. I’ll help you gather your things and take you wherever you want to go. The unknown has our whole family in turmoil and we are all scared to death something has happened to you. We will not stop looking for you until we know you are safe. This is so unlike you and completely out of your character. I can’t help but think that you feel the same way, scared and confused. We love you more than we could ever express in words, and I pray you find the courage and are given the opportunity to pick up the phone and call us. Love, Dad.”
Hannah’s mother, Crystal Osborn, also shared her thoughts on Facebook, saying she is trying to rely on her faith:
“Tomorrow starts a new week of searching for Hannah. I’m trying my best to keep my faith and giving this situation to God! He is in control and I keep reminding myself of that. I want to know why.. Why us, Why my daughter, Just why?!? Then I have to remind myself sometimes we aren’t to know, but God does. He sees all, knows all and if someone is helping/hurting her that he will be judge.”
Hannah is described as 5’9” tall, weighing around 120 pounds. She has curly blonde hair, though her father says she often straightens it. When she was last seen, she was wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans, and carrying an orange and black backpack.
