The Greenburgh Police Department is still actively attempting to locate missing 16-year-old Christine (Ji Woo) Kang. Early in the investigation police relied on intelligence gathered from family members and the community to direct the initial steps of the investigation. Police then expanded their search with the assistance of the Westchester County Police Aviation and Canine Units. On Tuesday afternoon police were able to confirm that Christine had made it to Manhattan. They located video of her in Grand Central Terminal near the Lexington Avenue entrance on Friday night at about 11 p.m.

Known to have run away in the past, concerns are that Christine, who was wearing pajama bottoms and a shirt, is not dressed for the extreme cold weather now in the area, nor is it known if she has any friends who might help her.

After minor arguments with her parents, Christine had run off in the past, but usually returned home after a brief period. According to her parents, this is the longest she has stayed away.

Police are asking anyone that has had communication with Christine within the last month to come forward and contact Greenburgh Detectives at 914-989-1700. All calls can be kept confidential.
