A teen from Raynham who was reported missing last week has still not been found and police now believe she may be in danger.

Raynham police said in a news release that their investigation into the disappearance of 16-year-old Colleen Weaver indicates that she may have traveled to a location approximately 100 miles from her home.

Police listed Springfield and Provincetown, Massachusetts; Bristol and Hartford, Connecticut; Wells, Maine; Concord, Portsmouth, Manchester, and Keene, New Hampshire, and Brattleboro, Vermont, as cities where she may now be residing.

“Without any contact from Weaver since her disappearance, she is believed to be in danger,” they wrote in the release.

Weaver’s parents spoke to WBZ-TV Tuesday and told the news station they don’t believe their daughter ran away.

“We believe she met someone online and was lured away from home,” Weaver’s mother, Kristen Weaver, told the news station.

Weaver is described as being five feet tall and approximately 120 pounds. She has reddish pink hair and is believed to have been wearing black glasses and possibly a sweatshirt and leggings when she left her home.

“When a child goes missing it is every parent’s worst nightmare,” Raynham Police Chief James Donovan said in the release. “We are using every resource at our disposal to help locate Colleen Weaver and bring her home safely. If anyone believes they may have seen her, we asked that you call us without delay.”
