This is the fourth time this girl went missing in the last year. Obviously something is going on at home that she keeps running away. The parents should be looked into.

@brooklynUser1965605028 I was not abused no but I was a wild teen who didn’t like rules

Praying she is okay 🙏🙏

This her 4th time running away. Clearly she doesn’t want to be home. I wonder what’s happening in that household

UPDATE AS OF JANUARY 21st. Ellie is still missing. There were two “possible” sightings that police and private investigators are checking out. The first location is the Target parking lot in Freeport on Monday morning between 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM, and Monday night around 9:00 PM on Terrace Road in Hempstead, between Atlantic Avenue and Jackson Street. If you have children in school who are friends with Ellie, please ask them if Ellie has contacted them via social media. If you suspect she has, please contact the Port Washington Police. Our feeling is that Ellie is likely in contact with other kids in town who are not truthful with the police. Kids may have second phones or other devices that their parents are unaware of. Thank you.
