More than 200 people fanned out over a 10-block area around Grand Central Terminal on Saturday to look for a 16-year-old Westchester, New York, girl who hasn't been heard from since she left home more than a week ago wearing only pajamas.
The teenager, Ji Woo "Christine" Kang, was last seen by her family at her home in Greenburgh at about 8 p.m. on Friday Jan. 2, when she left the home after an argument with her family, according to police.
The search was the biggest coordinated effort since Kang left her Robin Hill Road home.
She was last seen in surveillance video getting off a train from Scarsdale at Grand Central.
Aubrey Graf, a member of Edgemont Cares, an arm of the Edgemont Community Council, organized the search, which brought together people from the central Westchester County community and beyond.
"The response has been overwhelming," she said.
Scout troops, sports teams and teachers from Edgemont High School, where Christine is a junior, were among those handing out fliers.

Reade Seiff, 16, donated money he earned from a business he runs to pay for 3,000 fliers. He and his sister, Sydney, helped hand them out.
"I feel so bad for her parents," he said. "She's out there somewhere with no coat, no phone, no money."
Kang is described as being 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighing about 120 pounds. She has brown eyes and brown hair and was last seen wearing a green flannel shirt, pajama pants and UGG boots. The school said she wasn’t wearing a jacket.
Anyone with information about Kang’s whereabouts is asked to call the Greenburgh Police Department at 914-682-5300.
