Apparently, Ali's phone was on Thursday. Her mom says investigators tried pinging it, but couldn't locate the phone.

Ali's mom Chrissy tells 11 News she and Ali got into an argument before she disappeared .

"Come home, just come home. We love her and we want her home safe where she belongs." That's the message Chrissy says she wants to get to her daughter.

I'm driving around Woodland Park looking for Ali...her phone records show that the last time she used her phone was 10:01PM last night. Her phone rings but she won't answer. I'm feeling helpless. I don't know what else to do.

In case you don't know, Ali is 5' 5" tall, 115 lbs. with dark brown straight hair. I'm not sure what she is wearing, but most likely skinny jeans and a t-shirt.

Still no word. The police are trying to "ping" her phone which can be an ordeal. I will post an update as I get information. I'm sorry that I cannot contact you each individually. Thanks for all of the messages of support, prayers and phone calls. They are all very much appreciated!

Search continues for missing Woodland Park teen
By Andrea Sinclair Updated: September 9, 2013 at 12:35 pm • Published: September 9, 2013 | 12:10 pm • 4

The last time her mother saw her, Alexandra "Ali" Ponte was in her Woodland Park home around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.

They had argued over a Facebook post and Ali had gone to her room to cool off, but Chrissy Duis, her mother, did not realize she was gone until nearly two hours later.

Woodland Park police and the FBI have been searching for the teen, who was listed as a missing person. So far, no foulplay has been suspected, but that doesn't make her mother feel any better.

"Nobody has heard anything in six days, we just want to know that she's ok, alive, anything," Duis said Monday.

The latest development in Ali's disappearance surfaced over the weekend, when the owner of Serrano's Mexican Bar and Grill, on east U.S. 24, confirmed to detectives that he and an employee spotted a girl matching Ali's description at 9:10 p.m. Wednesday.

"They saw her walking on Baldwin Street, heading southwest toward U.S. 24," Duis said. "They didn't realize she was missing until they saw a flier and she had stuck in their mind because they thought it was uncommon to see a girl walking out that late."

The circumstances leading up to Ali's disappearance point to her running away from home, which her mother said the teen did once before, last Sept. That time, police found her within the hour and took her home. This time around, as days have passed, Duis said she can't find any peace.

Duis told The Gazette that after their argument, she told Ali to go to her bedroom and think things through. Around 9 p.m., she got a call from a friend's mother letting her know she had dropped Ali off at nearby Memorial Park, to meet up with a friend for a "sleepover."

"I called and checked on the sleepover and the girl's father didn't know anything about it," Duis said. "If Ali was meeting someone to pick her up, it wasn't at the park because police went back to look for her and they couldn't find her."

Police and FBI investigators have tried pinging Ali's phone but her mother said it has been off since Thursday.

"There was definitely one person with whom she communicated repeatedly when she went missing, and that person has been questioned, but nothing has come of it," Duis said.

 ::snipping3::

"I just want her to know that she's loved beyond measure. I'm afraid she'll stay away because she thinks she's going to be in trouble, but I just want her to come home, to know that she's safe. At least call, or text, let us know she's alive."

Mom releases new video of missing teen Ali Ponte

14-year-old Ali missing for days

UPDATED: 05:47 PM MDT Sep 09, 2013

WOODLAND PARK, Colo. -
The family of a missing teenager from Woodland Park is hoping you can help bring her home. Alexandra "Ali" Ponte, 14, hasn't been seen since Wednesday, Sept. 4th.

"There are no words," said Ali's mom, Christine Duis. "My heart is just breaking."

She gave KRDO Newschannel 13 recent video of Ali playing with her dogs and new photos of the teen. She's hoping someone will recognize her daughter.

Duis said she and Ali got in an argument Wednesday evening about a post Ali had put on Facebook.

"I got a call at about 9 from her best friend's mom saying they had dropped her off at (Memorial Park) where she was meeting another friend to stay the night with," said Duis.

Duis said Ali didn't go to that friend's home. Two men reported that they saw Ali walking on Baldwin Street behind the high school at about 9:10 p.m. and from there she's seemingly disappeared.

Woodland Park Police said they don't suspect foul play. They're getting help from the FBI trying to locate Ali's cell phone.

"What I understand from (the FBI) is they actually have an agent that lives in the Woodland Park area that heard about the case and that prompted them to contact us to offer assistance," said Detective Sgt. Thomas Kinney.

Kinney said police are interviewing Ali's friends and following up on tips.

"We received a tip this morning that she might have been observed on I-76 in northeast Colorado, so we're following up on that lead," Kinney said.

Ali's mom says she hopes her daughter just ran away.

"We just want her to know that she's not in trouble. We just want her to come home," said Duis. "It's devastating to think you could lose a child. So I have to hold on to hope that she's still alive and she's still going to come home."

Christine Duis said she didn't believe her daughter ran away initially, but now is hoping that explains her absence.

"That is my hope and my prayer, that she planned this out and she's with someone she knows," said Duis.

FBI now involved in week-long search for Woodland Park 14-year-old
Posted on: 11:37 am, September 11, 2013, by Will C. Holden, updated on: 12:10pm, September 11, 2013

WOODLAND PARK, Colo. — Though police initially suspected that Alexandra Ponte had just run away from her parents home in Woodland Park after an argument, tensions are now mounting considering the 14-year-old has been missing for a week.
According to FBI spokesperson Dave Joly, his office have joined the search for Ponte, who goes by Ali. But Joly stressed the bureau’s involvement was “very minimal” as of Wednesday morning, saying the case is still mostly being run by local authorities.
Ponte reportedly left her home and went to Memorial Park around 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 4, according to Woodland Park Police spokesperson Sean Goings. She has not been heard from since.
Christine Duis, Ponte’s mother, said she and her daughter got in an argument that night about a status update Ponte had posted on Facebook. As of Wednesday, Goings said Woodland Park Police have no reason to suspect foul play.
“My hope and my prayer is that she planned this out and she is with someone she knows,” Duis said through tears. “But I don’t really know.”

The dogs didn't get much today most likely due to the recent rains. The police did get some new leads today and are following those. Please continue to keep Ali in your prayers and stay POSITIVE! She will be home soon! Thank you all for your messages of hope and love. I am blessed to have such amazing friends and family! Hugs to you all, Chrissy

Desperate hunt for 14-year-old girl who may have been kidnapped after running away following a fight with her mother over Facebook post

The search for a 14-year-old Colorado girl is becoming increasingly desperate as her disappearance enters its second week.

Alexandra 'Ali' Ponte was last seen on September 4 when she left her home after a fight with her mother, Christina Duis.

The teen had posted an unflattering self-penned rap song about her mother and her step-father on Facebook, and Duis banned her from the social networking site.

'It wasn't a very nice rap. It was about her stepfather and me,' Duis told ABC News. 'The gist of it was she feels unloved, and she's angry and hurt.'

Following the argument, Ponte left the house and was given a lift to Memorial Park in Woodland Park, Colorado, by a friend's mother.

According to ABC News, Ponte told the mom that she was meeting up with another friend at the park, and would be sleeping the night at the friend's home.

But when Ponte's mother called to check up on her daughter, she discovered that she had never had any plans to sleep over at her friend's home that night.

Two men told police they saw Ponte walking along Baldwin Street behind the local high school at about 9:10pm that night. After that, the teen disappeared, and there are grave concerns for her safety.

Investigators fear the teen may have been kidnapped after running away from home.

'There are no words. My heart is just breaking,' Duis told ABC News through tears.

'We just want her to know that she's not in trouble. We just want her to come home,' she said.
A Facebook page, Help Find Ali Ponte aka Alexandra Renee Ponte, has been set up to help find the girl.

'It's devastating to think you could lose a child. So I have to hold on to hope that she's still alive and she's still going to come home,' said Ponte's mother.

The FBI has been helping local police with their investigations by tracking Ponte's cell phone signals, but had difficulty getting a reading, and now according to ABC News, the phone has gone dead.

 ::snipping3::

'I just wish I would have hugged her more. I just wish I would have told her how much I love her more. I don't think she really knows,' Duis told ABC News.

Detective Sean Goings told KRDO that police are investigating a tip from a friend of Ponte's who said she was seen in Ellicott.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Alexandra Ponte is urged to call Detective Sean Goings on 719-687-9262.

FBI Investigating Disappearance of Colorado Teen
Sept. 12, 2013
By CLAYTON SANDELL

Investigators in Colorado have stepped up the search for a teenage girl who went off the grid over a week ago following a fight with her mother.

Alexandra Ponte, 14, was initially thought to have run away when she disappeared Sept. 4 from her home in Woodland Park, Colo., but police and FBI agents are now wondering if she may have been kidnapped.

Alexandra, who goes by Ali, was last seen in a local park after she left her home following the fight with her mother over a rap song she wrote and posted on Facebook.

"It wasn't a very nice rap. It was about her stepfather and me," her mother Christina Duis told ABC News. "The gist of it was she feels unloved, and she's angry and hurt."

Duis banned Ali from Facebook, and that's when she ran away. Police are now saying that she's vanished.

"Fourteen-year-old girls tend to be very attached to their electronics, their cell phones, to Facebook, to Instagram, all of those technologies, and she has not been on any of those things," Detective Chris Goings with the Woodland Park Police Dept told ABC News.

The FBI was helping track her cell phone, but investigators now believe it has gone dead. They said that they are desperate for new leads.

I have been cleaning Ali's room and I found the blue hoodie that I though she was wearing, but her green Aeropostale hoodie is missing. So, it's very likely that she is wearing that one. Just please keep it in your mind.

If Ali got a ride to the park as has been reported, wouldn't those people KNOW what she was wearing?

"I got a call at about 9 from her best friend's mom saying they had dropped her off at (Memorial Park) where she was meeting another friend to stay the night with," said Duis.

Court records from South Carolina...

From what I can tell from other records, Peter Ponte was the plaintiff in the divorce.  There are divorce records from 2005 and 2007 with two financial judgments against Christine.

I found an earlier court docket to "relinquish jurisdiction" but this one is from later so I'm guessing that was denied?

No idea what Ali's relationship (if any) is with him...just wondering if Ali may have contacted her dad?
