Missing teenager Lily Christopherson, who hasn’t been seen since May 9, is confirmed to be with Christopher Fitzpatrick and police believe they are staying in motels.
Officials say they are likely staying in camping areas between Tacoma and Tumwater, however it is unknown if Christopherson is willingly traveling with Fitzpatrick, Kiro 7 reported.
Christopherson allegedly took a bus from Bonney Lake to Federal Way two weeks ago.
Authorities says she may have passed through the Federal Way Transit Center, so Lily’s mother, Lena Winters, handed out flyers with her photo at the transit center and other locations in Federal Way.
‘I’m feeling completely heartbroken. She’s my heart and it’s missing. It’s indescribable how I feel right now,’ Winters said.

Fitzpatrick has a record including assault with sexual motivation. He is known to be around Federal Way, so authorities and Winters hope Lily may be in the area.
Police initially thought she might be with Alex Thueringer, who lives in Bonney Lake but has ties to Snohomish County.
However, police spoke to Thueringer, but he allegedly did not know the teen’s whereabouts. In a tweet Monday Bonney Lake police said ‘been in contact with Alex Thueringer. Lileana Christopherson is still missing.’

Winters is worried her daughter may be a victim of human trafficking. ‘That’s exactly what I’m scared of. She’s a beautiful girl. She doesn’t realize the dangers out there.’
‘Send her home. She’s our heart…I want her to know “don’t be scared to come home; we’re not angry with you.”‘
Authorities say Lily was also seen at an apartment in the area of 327th Lane in Federal Way.
Christopherson is about 5’2″, 120 pounds, and has a small scar near her left eye. She has hazel eyes and long brown hair. If you see her, call 911.
