The day before she vanished, Gwinnett police said she was disciplined by administrators in her school, which they believe might have provoked her to leave the house.

Jones visited the house and spoke briefly with her father, who said he could not talk at the moment but would get back in touch. The family has informed police that Asata did not mention any plans to run away before she disappeared.
