A teen, missing since last Saturday, could have run away to meet a man she met on Facebook, Winter Haven police said.
Alexis Lashay Darden, 17, was reported missing from her home in Winter Haven, just before 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 3rd. Winter Haven police have searched the area and have not been able to locate her.
