A 16-year-old California girl is still missing after police say she disappeared with a wrestling coach from the local high school.

Phillip Maglaya, a 25-year-old coach at Franklin High School in Stockton, was in a “romantic relationship” with the missing girl, according to the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities have not identified the teen, who was last seen Wednesday. Her friend told the local CBS station that she was unaware of any relationship between her and Maglaya.

“She mentioned someone, but not that it was a wrestling coach or anything, just someone that she might like,” said Franklin High junior Brisa Madrigal. “She never told us who he was, or where he’s from, or anything.”

Police said the two may be traveling in a 1994 green Toyota extra cab truck with license plate 8G91493.
