As local and state law enforcement authorities enter their third day of searching for a missing Great Bend teenage girl, anxious family and friends of 14-year-old Alicia DeBolt are desperate for leads and praying for her safe return.“It’s mind draining and heart breaking,” said Holly DeBolt, Alicia’s sister-in-law. “Not having any leads, it’s numbing.”Alicia was last seen at about 11 p.m. Saturday when she left her house at 910 Stone to attend a party in southeast Great Bend with a 19-year-old male. Alicia discussed her plans with her mother Tammy Conrad before leaving, and her mom is convinced she is not a run-away.Family members reported Alicia missing to the Great Bend Police Department late Sunday morning.
