Authorities and loved ones are desperately searching for a pregnant teenager from Texas who vanished just one day before her scheduled induction.

As a result, the police department issued a CLEAR alert on Monday, which is typically used for adults who have gone missing, have been kidnapped, or are in immediate danger, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. The CLEAR alert stated that Soto, who stands at 5'1" with brown hair and eyes, was last seen on December 22nd around 2 p.m. The alert also mentioned that she may be traveling in a gray 2013 Kia Optima with temporary Texas license plates.

Rachel Soto's Granddaughter Missing

Rachel Soto, the teen's grandmother, expressed her concern and worry as her granddaughter remains missing. The teen, who was expecting a baby boy, had already prepared a nursery and chosen a name for her child.

"She was thrilled and excited about being a mom ... I pray to God every day, every minute, every second of the day we pray to God to bring her home, to bring her home safely because we need her home, to complete our family again," said Rachel Soto, pleading for her granddaughter's safe return.

Soto's grandmother is desperate for answers and just wants to see the teen safely returned. "It's not normal, something's not adding up here ... I want answers, we all want answers," Soto said. "She's a beautiful girl ... She'll help anyone and I want someone to help us."
