Belton police are looking for Kara Kopetsky, 17, a Belton High student who went missing late last week. She is 5 feet 5 or 5 feet 6 and 115 to 125 pounds with light, almost blond hair and hazel eyes. Anyone with information is asked to call the police at 331-1500, ext. 232, or the TIPS Hotline at (816) 474-TIPS (474-8477).
UPDATED: I talked with Capt. Don Spears at Belton PD, and they have no reason to believe Kopetsky's a victim of foul play. Still, they're classifying her case as "endangered-missing" because nobody's had any contact with her since last week. (Her cell's been shut off.) Police say it's possible she's on her way to visit a friend in St. Louis, but they qualify that with a very big MIGHT.
