Original story:
Authorities are searching for 17-year-old Emma Danei Linek, from Ohio, who has not been seen since she landed in Atlanta for a connection flight and took a MARTA train last week, the FBI said.
Linek’s mother Eleanor said her daughter flew into Atlanta from Cleveland, heading back to school in Boston.
“She was supposed to have a direct flight to Boston to go back to her therapeutic boarding school,” Eleanor told Fox 8.
“My husband and I watched her go through security. Then we got a call from the facility where she was staying say she did not get on that plane, that she missed it.”
The airline rebooked her on a different flight, connecting in Atlanta.

The agency originally said that Linek — who also goes by the name Azari Holmes, or Zari — had left Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport with an “unknown man” about 10 a.m. Tuesday in the North Daily Parking lot.
The FBI has since located the man, but Linek was not with him, Assistant Special Agent in Charge Christopher Macrae said during a Saturday news conference.

The teenager is believed to be “endangered” and is in need of her daily medication, which her family says she does not have with her.
Macrae added that Linek has been diagnosed with autism, but it would not be immediately apparent, as she is a “generally outgoing, bubbly person.”
