Manuel, an honor roll student and rising senior at South Stokes High School, disappeared in the middle of the night last June.New information came to light in the case yesterday, as officials in Louisiana pursued a new clue.Officials said Manuel left with a man who duped her into believing he was someone he wasn't.That man, William David Jones, of Texas, had been chatting with Manuel online and through text messages.

Deputies are searching for William David Jones (left), who is said to be with 17-year-old Faith Manuel. More

Capt. Jeff Lemons, who's been investigating the case, said
Thursday that officers discovered some 1,000 text messages that had been
exchanged between the two before she disappeared.Lemons said
deputies have also uncovered several lies Jones told the girl. Among
those, Lemons said Jones claimed to be much younger than he actually is
-- investigators said they think he's between 27 and 34 years old.Lemons
said Jones also told Manuel he was previously in the military and that
his mother had died -- both lies, according to Lemons.In fact,
Lemons said authorities in Louisiana on Wednesday found and interviewed
Jones' mother, who claimed she hadn't seen or heard from her son in at
least five years.Now Lemons said solving the case is a matter of
publicity. He's called the FBI, asking for assistance, and is waiting
to find out if federal agents will help out.Cayton is doing her
part as well. She said she's called shows like Nancy Grace and Dr.
Phil, asking for any publicity that can be given to the case.Lemons
said normally runaways will contact someone at some point, especially
during the holidays. This year, the holidays came and went and Cayton
heard nothing from her daughter.During an interview with WXII
last year, Cayton described her daughter as quiet, leading an isolated
life. She called the girl's behavior before her disappearance
"uncharacteristic" and said she is convinced Jones brainwashed the girl.She never drank, she didn't date boys who swore and hated being around cigarette smoke, Cayton said.Jones,
who has outstanding arrest warrants in Texas and Louisiana, is thought
to be driving a 1992 Chevy S10 with license plate AG72519.Deputies in Stokes County said if caught, he faces a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Crimestoppers at 800-672-2851.
