Parma police, the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department and the FBI continue to search for a Parma teen who has been missing since the weekend.
Katarina Bitterman, 17, was last seen Saturday afternoon.
Her parents left their home Saturday afternoon around 1:30. An hour later, police said an eyewitness saw Bitterman walking down Augustine Drive. When her parents called to check on her, they were unable to reach her. They sent a friend to the house but she was gone, police said.

The search expanded Thursday to the Cleveland Metroparks West Creek Reservation area, which is near the teen's home.
K9s are expected to be used to search the wooded area, as well as a search plane.
Parma Police Captain Kevin Riley said Katarina left her cell phone in the house. Police now have that cell phone, hoping it can provide clues.
Anyone with information should contact the FBI at 216-522-1400 or Parma police at 440-885-1234.
