AMERICAN FORK Three pregnant teens who fled a maternity home in American Fork a week ago are still missing.
Police say the girls, two 15 year olds and a 16 year old, hit the director of the home over the head with a frying pan, then took electrical cords and bound the woman, putting a sock in her mouth and taping it shut.
They also tied up another girl, 17, who was staying at the facility, police said.
Police say the girls, who hail from California, Texas, and Illinois, left in a minivan after stealing the director's purse, checkbook, credit cards, cell phone and video camera.
Police believe the three girls have fled the state.
