The father of a missing teenage girl shared a cryptic threat amid fears that she may have left with someone she met on social media just days before her 18th birthday.
Hannah Osborn was last seen at around 7.40pm on August 9 leaving her parents’ house in Bradford, Arkansas.
Her parents, Wesley and Crystal, think she may have met someone on Snapchat and fear she may be in danger – as they claim it is unlike the teen to disappear.
‘She’s had problems with being on Snapchat and meeting people out of town and things, but Hannah has always come home,’ Wesley told KATV, adding that there were ‘some vehicles spotted on my road about the time that she left.’
It remains unclear whether Hannah may have entered one of those mysterious vehicles, but on Facebook, her worried father suggested he may have information about his daughter’s disappearance as he issued a mysterious threat.
‘It’s been a whole week since I’ve seen your beautiful face!’ Wesley wrote on Saturday, sharing a selfie Hannah once took of the two of them.
‘I’m coming and I’m bringing Hell with me,’ he vowed, declaring: ‘I know, they know and everyone will know soon enough!’
He then pleaded with whomever may have taken his daughter to ‘bring my baby girl home or give her a phone so she can call me!’

Her father, Wesley, shared a cryptic message on social media on Saturday
He suggested he had information about his daughter’s disappearance
The message came just days after Wesley shared another post, assuring Hannah that she is not in any trouble.
‘It’s been the hardest five days of our lives, not knowing where you are or what may have happened to you,’ he wrote in the post, tagging his daughter.
‘We have turned this country upside down searching for you, following every single lead without hesitation, hoping we would see your beautiful face at the end of each one.’
Wesley then told Hannah he would ‘beat down the doors of Hell to find you and make sure you are safe, and I hope you realize that and know that you are loved and greatly missed.
‘I want you to know that no matter what I will always love you,’ he continued. ‘Good, bad, right or wrong, I will always be here for you. You are my flesh and blood, my baby girl.
‘If you are out there and upset with us or whatever the case may be, just know that you’re not in trouble,’ Wesley added. ‘We’re not trying to force you to do anything against your will.
‘[We] just need to hear your voice, look you in the eye (even if it’s through FaceTime or whatever) and know that you are OK and happy wherever you are.’
Wesley then reiterated the message in a post on Sunday.
Hannah was active on Snapchat, and her family fears she may have left with someone she met on the social media app
‘Hannah I love you and we all just need to know that you are OK. Call someone and let us know you’re alive.
‘Come home and give us a hug and tell us where you want to go or where you want to be. I’ll help you gather your things and take you wherever you want to go.’
He then went on to say that ‘the unknown has our whole family in turmoil and we are all scared to death something has happened to you.
‘We will not stop looking for you until we know you are safe,’ Wesley wrote, noting: ‘This is so unlike you and completely out of your character.
‘I can’t help but think that you feel the same way, scared and confused,’ he mused.
‘We love you more than we could ever express in words and I pray you find the courage and are given the opportunity to pick up the phone and call us.’
Hannah was just days away from celebrating her 18th birthday
Wesley has told KARK he was outside feeding his cows on the night of August 9 when his wife told him Hannah was gone.
‘I called a neighbor and they brought a dog up here and it’s like she just vanished,’ he recounted.
Wesley and Crystal say the disappearance was unusual, noting they were looking forward to celebrating Hannah’s birthday with family.
‘This is way out of character,’ Crystal said. ‘This is not Hannah.’
The teenager is described as five-foot-nine-inches and weighing about 120 pounds. She has curly, blonde hair, though Wesley has said she frequently straightens it.
She was last seen wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans, and she was carrying an orange and black backpack.
