CLEVELAND -- The family of a missing teenager is hoping, praying and waiting for answers concerning the girl's whereabouts.

NewsChannel5's Paul Kiska reported that emotions overflowed for hundreds of family, friends and co-workers who gathered for a prayer walk Tuesday night for 17-year-old Amanda Berry (pictured, left).

Amanda was last seen leaving work at the Burger King on West 110th and Lorain Avenue at about 8 p.m. on April 21.

Led by her mother, the crowd walked on Tuesday night the same route Amanda took every time she worked for a year. On the night she disappeared, she called her mother to say she was getting a ride home.

"That's the mystery, that's the whole puzzle," said Louwana Miller, Amanda's mother. "If somebody saw her get in a car, please give up that information, because that's the puzzle."

"Our hope if somebody has her let her go," family friend Pat Garner said.

"I want you to come home," Miller said. "Your family is desperately waiting. We miss you very much."

Amanda's family and friends are convinced the teen not a runaway. They hope that someone knows something and will call police.

The FBI recently became involved in the case, but so far, there are few leads. The agency is offering a reward for information that will help find Amanda.

Amanda is described as being 5 feet 1 inch tall and 110 pounds, with sandy blond hair, brown eyes and a eyebrow ring.
