The teenage girl may have left her home voluntarily, but a crime cannot be ruled out either.

What we know is that no one has forced her from the home, but she has packed some bag and left. But there are other circumstances that make us unable to rule out a crime, says the police's press spokesperson Jens Andersson.

What these circumstances are, he cannot go into. The police are, however, very keen to get in touch with the girl as soon as possible.

– The problem is that we do not have a clear search area and we have no certain observation since Wednesday evening. So if we can get an observation closer in time, it will help us to know where to direct the effort, says Jens Andersson.

Missing People have been contacted, but have not yet initiated any search effort, writes Göteborgs-Posten.

The girl is approximately 150 cm tall and has dark shoulder-length hair. At the time of disappearance, she was said to have been wearing a purple lightweight jacket or a white bomber jacket. She is also said to have with her two bags, a pink Stadium bag and a black leather bag with two handles, according to the description from Missing People.
