Rehfield is believed to be with 36-year-old David Karan whom she met on the Internet, reports CBS affiliate KHOU.

Capt. James Burger of the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office told KHOU it was not clear whether Alyssa went willingly or whether she was abducted, but "any time a young juvenile female is in the custody of an adult male, that brings alarm to us and we act on it."

Detectives have reason to believe that the pair are heading out of state; police received a tip that the two may have been in Boerne, Texas Tuesday morning, over 200 miles west of Richmond.

At that time, they were driving a silver 1995 Ford Aspire with Oregon license plate 884-AGZ, says KHOU.
