JERSEY CITY, N.J.
Since her 13-year-old daughter vanished Monday, Stella Browne says she has been getting text messages from the girl saying that someone followed her and that she woke up in a dark basement.
"Help. I'm scared. I don't know where I am," one of the text messages that Natasha Browne sent her mother said, Stella Browne told The Jersey Journal of Jersey City for Wednesday's newspapers.
The message went on to say: "Someone was following me and I just don't remember what happened. I just woke up in a basement. I'm scared."
Jersey City police have classified Browne's disappearance as suspicious. They planned to hold a 3 p.m. news conference to discuss their investigation.
Browne went missing Monday morning after leaving home for school. Her mother said she's only received text messages from her daughter, and that she has not called nor is she answering her cell phone.
"At this point, because of the circumstances surrounding this case, we are strongly and actively pursuing all means to find this young lady," said police Lt. Joseph Connors.

Is it just my cynicism, or does this not pass the sniff test?

If true, this should not be in the news, that's for sure.

Why can't they trace the cell phone?

I saw the movie. She ends up getting this lifeguard to help her and save her from some dirty cops that wanted to find out where a videotape was located.

Well, one thing's for sure - If it's real, the kidnappers now know to take away her cell phone.

My thoughts too - why leave her the phone if she was abducted and why not use it to talk if she has it? The kid is trying to scam her Mom to stay out of trouble for being bad.
At least that's what I pray for.

Yes, it really smells!
IF true, whoever published it should be charged with accessory to however it ends....

I also don't like ANY of the implications it brings - a hoax, but by who? The runaway girl? The deceiving kidnapper? A random stranger who found the phone? The complicit parents? NONE of it smells good.

A text message is a pretty short call... not sure anyone could trace it without a conversation.

Sounds like a runaway to me.

I didn't think of that. Hopefully so!

Sniffy indeed, but there's just as an outside chance that a perp has taken the daughter's phone and is using it to play mind games on the mother -- hence text instead of voice.

I agree, something about this is peculiar.
