Desperate Search for ELLA, 14, LURED ONLINE BY PREDATOR

January 6, Sarah Merril contacts the Mount Vernon, Washington, Police Department, reporting her 14-year-old daughter, Ella Jones is missing. Ella Jones has not made contact with any family members or friends since. After police released information about Ella Jones disappearance, some of her friends reached out to Merril, telling her that Ella had been talking to an older man on social media.

The morning of her disappearance, the mom went to Ella's room and saw her window was open, but her phone, keys, and computer were left behind. Merrill tells KING 5 Seattle that Ella left a cryptic message sayin she loved her mother and "didn’t want to hurt us anymore." Merrill tells FOX Digital it appears Ella knew where she was going because she took some of her belongings.
