Police say Asala could be in danger – and her family is now desperately searching for her – and seeking any answers as to where she might be. 

Family concerned

What they're saying:

"Keep going, keep trying to find her," said Cody Czarnecki, Asala's father. "We’ve had a lot of help so far – keep it going. Get her face out there. Got to get everybody involved that we can."

"The last place the police dogs caught her scent. So, you know, whether we are thinking she’s in a vehicle or not, we just don’t know," said Linda Grace, Asala's great aunt. "We gotta find her. She’s a child. Thinking the worst case scenario is just devastating."

"Since it’s been a few days now, we just don’t want things to lose momentum that they have currently," said Kayla Scholten, Czarnecki's girlfriend.

Getting the word out

What's next:

The Oak Creek American Legion (9327 S. Shepard Avenue) has become a hub for family and friends to meet and collect fliers before going out and searching for Asala.
