Family searches for missing teen last seen in Northwest DC

Our mother and father looking for their missing 13-year-old daughter. Yeah, the teen was last seen a week ago. Fox 5's Shamari Stone joins us live from Northwest D.C. So, what do we know about her disappearance so far? Well, Angie and Jim, tonight, these parents are desperate for answers. They want to know where is 13-year-old Catherine Stallard, also known as Ash. That's what her friends call her. That's what her family calls her. They've been putting up flyers like this one right here. And Angie and Jim, as you had asked, what is the latest with this? Well, they want to know where she is. She was last seen. A week ago, leaving school, walking in the Petworth neighborhood, and she hasn't been seen since. They haven't even heard from her. New surveillance video showing Ash walking on Rock Creek Church Road near her middle school, Creative Minds International in Petworth around 5.30 last Wednesday evening. This is when her parents say she was last seen with the two other kids who they believe attend the same school as Ash. He's going to want to socialize. Tonight, mom and dad going door to door, desperately searching for answers, putting up missing persons flyers. Ash's mom tells me she dropped her off at school at 8.30 in the morning last Wednesday. She says the 13-year-old, who has a developmental disability that causes her to act younger than her age, was not there when her mother came back to pick her up around 5.30 p.m. after school. Again, the video showing her walking with the two other kids around that time. Right now, Ash's parents tell me she has left home before but returned back in the same day. Tonight, they haven't heard from her ever since she went missing a week ago. I'm, as a mother, terrified and panicked that we don't know where our daughter is. Do you suspect foul play? I, I, I don't know. I am concerned. I'm really deeply concerned because nobody has heard from her in a week. Um, and it's incredibly unusual. No one's seen her. She just disappeared. And do you recognize the two other kids who were with her on that surveillance video? I, I am not sure the quality of the footage is not good enough. And suppose your daughter is able to see this right now. Dad, tell me, what do you say to her? I hope that she. I can see it and she knows that we love her and that she should come home immediately. And people in this Petworth neighborhood have been walking up to me this evening saying they're pleased that we're covering this story. And on the neighborhood listserv, they've been talking about this. It's on social media, and they want to continue to raise awareness. And with that said, Ash's Middle School tomorrow, around 4 p.m., they plan to have a community event to raise awareness about her disappearance and encourage anyone, especially in that school, who may have information about where she is, to let someone know. Police continue to investigate and they urge anyone with information to call DC police. I'm Shamari Stone, back to you.
