A pair of teenage sweethearts have gone missing after being dropped off at school, with the boy’s family sharing screenshots of the creepy last texts they received from him.
Callum Schiller, 14, and his girlfriend Crystal Cotton, 14, were last seen at 10.15am on Monday on a bus to Mount Barker, a suburb of the Adelaide Hills.
In a desperate plea to find Callum, his family took to social media on Monday to ask anyone who might have seen the boy to contact them.
“We have no idea if he caught a connecting bus or is in Mt Barker,” his sister Ebony Schiller wrote on Facebook.
“Callum is unreachable. Latest reports are: he can’t see, he’s in a boot, he can’t say anything unless he gets hit.’
