BEECH GROVE, Ind. – Beech Grove police believe a 14-year-old girl who went missing Sunday night may be traveling with a 25-year-old man

The father of Kassie Carman said she left home after her parents tried to take her cell phone away. Carman’s family said they have checked with all of the teen’s friends but have not found her.

Andrew and Melissa, Carman's parents, said right before their daughter disappeared, they discovered she had a secret cell phone and social media account.

Beach Grove Police believe Carman may be in the company of Joseph Patterson, 25. Patterson has also used the name Blythe A. Blanche in the past. 

The two may be traveling in Patterson's blue 1998 Toyota Corolla with Indiana license plate XEC813. 

Carman is described as 5 feet, 3 inches weighing 110 pounds with hazel eyes and dark blonde hair. She was last seen wearing Mickey Mouse pajamas and a black sweatshirt.
