 There was nothing leading up to it that would have caused her to run away, either at home or school,  Johnson said.  It seems she just made the decision to leave. 

Here is what we know so far.

Genna is 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs about 130 pounds. She has brown hair and blue eyes. Her birthday is Aug. 8, 2009. She has a mole located near her left eyebrow and sometimes goes by the name  Michael. 

Where was she last seen?

Genna was last seen at Grand Oaks High School around 12:50 p.m.


 She left the school; she was walking,  Johnson said.

Johnson said there was a possible sighting of Genna in College Station, but it has not been confirmed whether it was her daughter.

What was she wearing?

Genna was wearing blue jeans, a graphic T-shirt and a large dark jacket. She was wearing gold-framed glasses and carrying a large garment bag.

According to the Conroe ISD Police Department, Genna left behind documents that indicated she wanted to reach the Oregon/Washington area before possibly crossing into Canada.
