Police said Sunde was last seen at her home at around 6:15 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 11. It is believed she traveled from downtown Milwaukee on Thursday to the village of Howard, near Green Bay, on Friday.
It is unknown who Sunde is traveling with or what means of transportation she may be using, police said. Police also said there is no evidence at this time that she was abducted, which is why an Amber Alert was not issued.

The 16-year-old ran away last week, too, but the village of Pewaukee Police Department said she was found the next day.
"Most of our missings return within 24 to 48 hours – tomorrow will be six days," said Det. Craig Drummy.

Anyone with information on Sunde's whereabouts is asked to call Waukesha County Communications Dispatch at 262-446-5070 or the village of Pewaukee Police Department at 262-720-4675.
‘Her family loves her’
What they're saying:
Kalin Sunde, Serenity's mother, said the 16-year-old had been communicating with strangers through the app Snapchat, and it's likely she got into trouble.
"Her family loves her. She's worked so hard, and she's come so far," said Kalin. "She could be in danger right now because the people she could be with, she doesn't know. They are people she met on Snapchat."
Detectives said Serenity's cellphone pinged in Sussex hours after she left. Police canvassed three different neighborhoods there.

"I think about every place she's ever been, somebody has to have seen her," Kalin said.
Making matters worse, Serenity has not been taking critical mental health medications. Kalin is keeping her daughter's bible at her side, praying for a safe return.
"There's been no contact. It's scary right now," said Becca Sunde, Serenity's aunt.
