Where is Judi Lawrence? Have you seen her? The 19-year-old Colorado Springs girl has been missing since Friday morning and her mother fears the worst may have happened to her.

Investigators spent all weekend on horse-back sifting through a wooded area near Judi's home.

Authorities say at this point they're hoping they'll find her alive.

11 News spoke with Judi's mom, Aekyong Lawrence, a mother of three. Lawrence has been sobbing all weekend. She says her heart is broken and aching for her middle child to return home. "I just still hope she's somewhere safe," said Aekyong Lawrence.

Aekyong says the last time she saw Judi was on Friday morning. "It was 7-o'clock. I told her, 'Talk to you later, see you later,' And she said, 'Bye mommy,'" said Aekyong Lawrence.

Judi was supposed to go bowling with her class Friday morning, but her mom says she never showed up. Instead Judi left home with-out her purse, with-out any money and with-out her bus passes. She took only her cell phone. "But she didn't answer her phone," said Aekyong Lawrence.

El Paso County Investigators traded their horses for a good night of sleep on Sunday night after having searched around the clock all weekend for Judi. "We're working it as if she is still alive. That is our hope right now," said Sgt. Robert Jaworski, El Paso County Major Crimes Investigator.

But there is someone who might know where Judi is. Sgt. Jaworski says they've been questioning him. They have his car in custody and there's a reason they've been searching one particular spot on the South side of town. "The vehicle of interest has been back here before," said Sgt. Jaworski.

Sgt. Jaworski says he couldn't release any more information than that about the person of interest.

Judi's mom has been struggling with the news. "I don't want to admit it. I think he hurt my daughter, I really think he hurt my daughter," said said Aekyong Lawrence.

Aekyong says she is pleading with the public. She just wants her little girl home again. "I need to find my daughter, please help me," said Aekyong Lawrence.

The Lawrence family is offering a $5,000 reward to anyone who has information that will lead to Judi's safe return.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the sheriff's office at 390-5555.
