Statistically, most girls that age do turn out to be runaways or willingly went with their boyfriend for a few days of fun.
Looking at the Amber Alert site, it seems that nearly all even younger children are either taken by non custodial parents or went willingly. Although this is not good at least it shows that random child abduction is thankfully a lot rarer than we think.

Albion7 didn't know she hitchhikes....he finally got it out of a friend of hers after she went missing. No teenage daughter would tell her father that she hitchhikes because they simply know Dad would not approve. Kids will do stupid things. That's all there is to it. He doesn't know if she did indeed hitchhike though. There is many forms of transportation where she resides, and that confuses him even more.
We all hope she just went on a binge and that abduction is not the case. Cross your fingers for her.
