Friends and family members continue the search for 16-year-old Raquel Landry, a  student who  and who family members believe may have been taken to Mexico.

According to a post on http://www.gofundme.com/RaquelLandry, Landry was last seen entering a vehicle reportedly driven by a man who has been in the United States illegally for the past year.

In the website post, the page organizer wrote, “Raquel is NOT believed to have left willingly and there is a very high probability that she has been taken into Mexico.”
