Popular Journalist and host of CNN Headline News anchor Nancy Grace is focusing on the investigation into the disappearance of 16 year old Alexis McDonald of Kiel.

In Wednesday night's report, Grace outlines the last time someone saw McDonald as she left her job at Subway sandwich shop after telling her supervisors she was feeling ill.

According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children shows McDonald has been missing since July 1st. NBC26 contacted the Kiel Police Department.

Chief Dave Funkhouser says he can confirm McDonald is in the Chicago area and is considered a runaway.

However, McDonald's parents have hired a private investigator to look into their daughter's disappearance.
