LENEXA (AP) — Kansas authorities have canceled an Amber Alert for a missing Texas teenager.

Authorities canceled the alert for 15-year-old Nomei “Mimi” Velazquez on Wednesday morning because she is no longer believed to be in Kansas. They gave no other details.

Velazquez has been missing from Nacogdoches, Texas, since Monday.

The teenager is 4-feet-11-inches, 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a white shirt, blue jeans, black tennis shoes, carrying a brown purse and wearing glasses.

Authorities say she might be with Juan Fabian Arenas Delacruz, who is 5-foot-11 and 170 pounds. They are possibly in a silver 2004 Volkswagen Passat with Texas plate DF7T507.

Investigators say a cellphone ping indicated they may have been on Interstate 35 in Lenexa Tuesday evening.
