Girl, 13, missing for almost a week after getting into stranger's car

A teenage girl who was last seen getting into a stranger’s car has been missing for almost an entire week.

The 13-year-old left an address on the Sunshine Coast on April 18 about midday, saying she was heading to an inner Brisbane suburb of Bowen Hills, and was last seen fighting with another teen girl in the Woodridge area that evening.

Child Protection and Investigation Unit detectives revealed she was then seen getting into a car with an unknown person.

Police have sought information from the public to help in determining details about the vehicle and who was accompanying the teenager.

She has not made contact with family or friends since April 18, and there has been no activity on her social media accounts.
