No other details related to Parker’s disappearance have been provided. A Facebook post from her father, Matthew Harris, revealed that the family “went camping” over the weekend – leaving Lillie at home so she could attend the homecoming dance at River Bluff High School in Lexington.
“When we arrived home (Sunday), she had left a note stating she was running away,” Harris wrote.
“Please somebody reach out,” Harris pleaded in another post. “We just want our daughter home safely.”
