Michaela Wells, 16, was last seen about 8:30 p.m. Sunday by her parents, who contacted Bellevue police Monday night.
Bellevue police do not believe that a pageant winner who was reported missing Monday was taken against her will, but the girl's parents do.
Michaela Wells, 16, who is USA National Miss Nebraska Teen, was last seen after 8:30 p.m. Sunday at her home in the Golden Hills Subdivision at 36th Street and Highway 370 in Bellevue.
Wells told her family she was stepping outside to take out the trash. She was wearing jeans, a dress coat and slip-on black pumps. She left her heavy winter coat and cellphone inside the house.
Twenty minutes passed before Wells' family grew worried that she hadn't returned. Her father looked inside and outside the house. He then drove around the neighborhood searching for her.
Her parents first thought Wells had seen a friend outside and hitched a ride to IHOP. But she didn't return home that night or the next.
Wells' mother, Theresa Norris, filed a police report at 9 p.m. Monday.
“When she says she's going to step out of the house for a minute, she always comes back in,” Norris said. “It's not like Michaela to disappear without telling us.”
The family does not believe Wells ran away. She hasn't had any contact with friends or family members since Sunday.
Her name has been entered into the state and national law enforcement database as a missing juvenile, Officer Laurie Synowiecki, a police spokeswoman, said Tuesday. But Bellevue police don't suspect foul play.
“At this time there is no evidence to indicate Michaela left her residence against her own will or that foul play is involved,” Synowiecki said.
Wells is white, 5-feet-6, 120 pounds and has brown eyes and brown hair.
Anyone with information about Wells can contact the Bellevue Police Department at 402-293-3100.
