Family and friends of a 14-year-old who went missing after a visit to church are worried and begging for her safe return.
“Oh my God, honey,” said Sherri Jockell, her mother, through tears. “We are so worried about you.”
Jockell said she filed a missing persons report for her daughter, Olivia Miller, after she was last seen during normal Friday services at Journey Church in La Mesa. Miller usually helped in the youth rooms while her mother went with adults. But after the service, Olivia was nowhere to be found. The family called police.
“Olivia, we are so worried about you,” said Jockell, her mother, through tears.
Police told NBC7 Miller is an at-risk juvenile and they are actively searching for her. They have issued a countywide be-on-the-lookout.
Friends and family handed out fliers around Grossmont Center Saturday, where one associate told family she saw Olivia around 8 p.m. Friday.
“I’d ask her to come back because I know that the world out there isn’t a safe place for her on her own,” said best friend Heather Bissell.

Olivia’s Facebook password was changed, so family cannot see who she has been in contact with for in previous weeks.
As they handed out fliers Saturday, her mother said she just wanted her daughter to come home.
“We love you and we want you home, that’s all I care about,” said Jockell.
