Three Foster teen girls - Murrysville PA /Altoona

Murrysville police are searching for three teenage girls who have been missing from their foster home since Wednesday.

The teens may be headed to Myrtle Beach, where the father of one of the girls lives, police said.

The girls were identified as Hillary Ott and Linda Bauman, both 16, and Laura Kohrs, 14.

Murrysville police Chief Thomas Seefeld said the girls apparently
decided to run away after getting into trouble at their foster home.

A friend of the girls picked them up at school at noon on Oct. 21
and drove them to Altoona, where he dropped them off at a Sunoco gas
station on Route 22, Seefeld said.

Three Westmoreland County girls who ran away last week from a foster
home were found over the weekend in Bedford County, police said.

The girls were found unharmed, Murrysville police Chief Thomas Seefeld said today.

They are Hillary Ott, 16, Laura Kohrs, 14, and Linda Bauman, 16.
Westmoreland County sheriff's deputies returned the girls around 2:30
p.m. Saturday to the Murrysville police station.

The chief said the girls had been at the home of the father of Hillary's boyfriend in Bedford.

Police said the three ran away from their foster home after getting
into trouble. They went to school Oct. 21, but they did not return to
their home.

Hillary was taken from Westmoreland County to be placed by Cambria County Children and Youth Services.

The other two were taken by Westmoreland County deputies for placement.
