Yep, looks like that's exactly what authorities are worried about at this point.
The press conference is over now; this is a report from the Boston Globe.
Disappointing - I'd hoped there would be more new information shared with the public. Not much detail though.
Snip:
While they released few details about the letter, the officials urged the public to be vigilant for new faces in the community. “Look at your neighbor. Look at the grocery store. Look at your church. Is there someone ... you haven’t seen before?” said Associate New Hampshire Attorney General Jane Young.
“We are concerned for her safety. She is not out there alone,” Young said
Hernandez went missing Oct. 9 after leaving Kennett High School in Conway. The letter was dated Oct. 22 and postmarked Oct. 23. The mother, Zenya Hernandez, did not receive it until until Nov. 6, and it was turned over the same day to authorities, Young said. Young had no explanation for why it took so long for the letter to arrive.
Asked if the case was now considered a runaway case, Young said, “We are still classifying this as a missing persons case. We have grave concerns for Abby’s safety.”
Kieran Ramsey, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s New Hampshire office, who appeared with Young at a news conference, said receiving the letter was “unprecedented” among recent cases.
“Our worst fear right now is that though she could have left willingly, someone may now be coercing her ... manipulating her,” he said.
He said Hernandez could be a potential target for sexual exploitation. She’s a “15-year-old endangered juvenile female that has no independent financial means, so she’s certainly at risk,” he said.
Conway Police Chief Ed Wagner said, “It certainly is our hope that Abby will be coming home soon.”
He appealed to people to report “somebody new in their community that moved into a home recently that has a young lady living in their house.”
Both Wagner and Young said officials had recently received some new information that they were surprised they hadn’t received before. They did not say what that information was.

That last part in bold is interesting, right? Wonder who's been holding back information.
