ROCK HILL, S.C. -- Discouraging new details have emerged in the disappearance of an 18-year old Rock Hill girl.
Her aunt says another family member had wired $100 to Aaliyah Bell Hall on the day she vanished, but that the girl never made it to pickup the money.
The cash was to have been used for shopping on Black Friday, but the girl vanished that Tuesday without getting the money.
Her family worries that if she had just run away, she would certainly want the money, and they are concerned something happened to her before she could get it.
"We're restless, can't eat and can't sleep. We are tired," said Eryn Pickett, an aunt of Hall.
Pickett says the girl was last seen leaving her uncle's Chestnut Street home on Tuesday of last week to walk the few blocks to her home, but she never made it.
"When she left Uncle Bobby's home, she was typical Aaliyah, upbeat. She said she would come back tomorrow, and tomorrow came and she didn't show up."
Rock Hill Police Captain Mark Bollinger said the girl's cellphone provided no clues for investigators who have run out of leads after talking to the girl's friends and family members.
"It grinds on investigators. They wish they would get a good break or something solid to go after," Bollinger said.
Family members are worried and discouraged, but are not giving up.
Said her aunt, "Just have to keep our faith and stay strong. We just know she's still out there. We are just hoping and praying she just comes home."
