16-year-old Throneberry was last seen on June 9 at the Cracker Barrel in Denton’s 4000 block of I-35.
Concerns about her absence grew quickly as her relatives and friends asked a local Facebook community about her whereabouts. Over the course of the weekend, several social media sites disseminated the need for assistance widely.
Katy was seen driving her parents’ blue Ford Crown Victoria beside an unnamed guy on surveillance video from that tragic day.
Queries flooded in as soon as the Denton Police Department learned of her absence, with some suspecting an abduction.
However, Katy is thought to have departed on her own, according to police spokesman Allison Beckwith. Video footage showing her freely getting into a car with an unidentified man lends credence to this allegation.
Beckwith confirmed that the adolescent had suggested leaving before departing. Katy is still missing as of right now, and search operations are underway.
