RSS High school junior Brittany Carrigg may have stormed out of her family's Georgia home Wednesday night after an argument.

Brittany Carrigg, a high school junior and volleyball player whose last day of school is exactly one week away, has not been seen or heard from since Wednesday night around 9:30 p.m., when she left the house to go for a walk.
(Haralson County Sheriff's Office)The 17-year-old also may have simply gone for an evening walk in the wooded area near the Alabama state line where she lives.

To the investigators, neighbors and family searching for her, it does not make much difference.

"It could have started out as someone who was upset with her parents and she left the house and then somebody took her," Jim Beck, a spokesman for the Haralson County Sheriff's Office, told ABC News as the search for Carrigg entered a second full day.

"The circumstance of how she left home doesn't necessarily foretell what happened next."

Law enforcement officials and volunteers searched for Brittany Carrigg last week. Haralson County Sheriff's Office Investigator Rhonda Eberritt said authorities found her walking down a road after receiving a tip. She had been with friends, who were charged.

I think Brittany should have been charged also. Law Enforcement are to lenient on these runaway teens and I think they should charge them all. It would teach them a lesson. JMO.
