Police in the Sarah Townsend case are becoming increasingly concerned that the missing teenager may have wanted to harm herself.
Authorities on Thursday said that a note in the car raised concerns about Sarah's intentions, according to 6abc.com.
Sarah's mother disagreed with that assessment, saying that her daughter was planning on going to the Florence and Allentown prom, and had been talking about what she wanted to wear.
Police are saying Townsend called Matt Welsh, her boyfriend, to meet her at the park but when he arrived she was gone.
Welsh spoke to Townsend several times on the phone between 7:00 a.m. and about 10:00 a.m. Monday, when he found her car near Sherman’s Pond, according to Burlington Township Police Director Walter Corter.
Roy Townsend, Sarah's father is upset about accusations of Welsh being involved in her disappearance. Welsh did not attend the Wednesday night vigil for Sarah with her parents and friends.
"He's really shook up. That's all I can say right now," said Sarah's father, Roy Townsend, according to CBS News. “I can tell you this, the boyfriend has been fully cooperative,” Corter said, according to NJ.com.
Corter would not comment on whether police had found a suicide note.
On Friday, search crews with police tracking dogs returned to Green Acres Park to continue looking for clues.
