     Thank you to Ali's mom for her help with this episode.
    At the time Ali went missing, she was wearing a gray hoodie, a white t-shirt, black and white checkered skinny jeans and black tennis shoes. She has braces on her teeth. She had a blue LG slide phone and a multi-colored checkered backpack, neither of which have ever been found.
