Alisa Petrov, 15, from South Jordan, was reported missing on April 21, two days after her final message to a 41-year-old man with whom she had been having a series of sexual conversations, according to an affidavit obtained by KSL TV.
“I’M RUNNING AWAY. Please don’t contact me,” Petrov wrote on April 19 at 12:34 a.m. in a message to the unnamed man from Herriman, Utah, whom she met on Discord, the report said.
