I hope they find her soon!
Investigators believe Hernandez is the same man seen in a number of Kansas school districts posing as a student asking to enroll. One of the most recent incidents happened in a Junction City High School, where he asked about enrolling, but left soon after.
Officials with the Wichita School district say he was also seen in at least three Wichita High Schools. A spokesperson for the district says he stopped in West High, Heights High and North High about three weeks ago. She says at one time he asked to talk to a wrestling coach and another time he said he was a college recruiter. She says principals from the schools recognized him as the same man after seeing a surveillance photo from the Junction City school.
The Marion County sheriff says, in addition to Junction City and Wichita, he was also seen in schools in Marion and Morris Counties.
