Police believe Chatman was a passenger in a blue 2002 Toyota Camry that was involved in a single-vehicle crash on Interstate 94 near Mauston, Wis., more than 200 miles southeast of Brooklyn Park.

She was with a man identified by police as Jorj Michael Austin, police said.

Chatman was last seen wearing a black sweater, black shoes, black coat with pink fur and a black backpack.

Anyone with information about the teen's whereabouts is urged to call Brooklyn Park police at 763-493-8222.
