DALLAS (CBS) Two months ago 16-year-old Angela Jaramillo went out to attend a party. She never came back. Family members say it is unlike her to run away, and police now suspect foul play.

On Jan. 23 Jaramillo was out at a party and called her mother, Stephanie Reyes, to see if she could spend the night at a friend's. Her mother said yes, and that was the last time she spoke to her daughter.

After trying to get a hold of her daughter the next day, Reyes called the police when she discovered Jaramillo never showed up at the friend's house she was supposed to sleep at.

CBS affiliate KTVT reported that police have asked its homicide division to help investigate the case. Reyes said, "I can't believe that it took this long for someone to understand that she's not just a runaway."

Reyes told CBS News' Crimesider that her daughter has never run away before, is very involved in school and enjoys spending time at home.

Jaramillo, whose nickname is Angie, is about 5 foot 8, 190 pounds and has black hair and brown eyes. She has her ears and tongue pierced.

Schepps Dairy is offering a reward of $5,000 for information leading to the safe return of Jaramillo. Anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers at 877-373-8477, or Detective E.A. Ibarra at 214-671-3646.

Dallas police have stepped up the search for a 16-year-old Molina High School girl who disappeared two months ago after texting her mother that she was spending the night with a friend.

Missing-persons detectives have exhausted all leads in the search for Angela Jaramillo, who did not have a history of running away before she was last heard from in late January, police said Thursday.

"We believe there might be more to this," said Sgt. Eugene Reyes, who supervises the department's Special Investigations Unit, which handles missing-persons cases generally when foul play is suspected. "It's out of character for her to be gone."

On Jan. 23, the girl told her mother that she was going to a party at a boy's house. "She left about 11:30 p.m.," said her mother, Stephanie Reyes, who is not related to the police sergeant. "I was baby-sitting that night, and when she walked out the door, I didn't see who she left with."

Later, Angela texted and asked if she could spend the night with a friend. Her mother gave her permission.

The next day, her mother tried Angela's cellphone but got no answer. "I automatically dialed that friend who she was supposed to be spending the night with. They said she never showed up. I called the police immediately."

She said the boy who hosted the party told her that Angela had come by, watched some movies and left about 2 a.m. It's unclear who gave her a ride, her mother said.

"I am taking it minute by minute," Stephanie Reyes said Thursday. "It kills me. I can't think. I'm putting all my hope on her coming back."

She said Angela has two brothers, ages 3 and 4, and a 10-year-old sister. Angela enjoys school, especially soccer and volleyball, her mother said.

"She was a little kid who liked to make crafts," she said. "She started coming out of her shell in high school, but she's never run away or did anything like this before."

Angela, who also goes by Angie, is 5 feet 8 inches tall, 190 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Her ears and tongue are pierced.

Schepps Dairy is offering a reward of $5,000 for information leading to the safe return of Angela.

If it is determined that Angela is the victim of foul play, that same $5,000 will be available as a reward for information leading to an arrest and indictment of a suspect in the case.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Crimestoppers at 1-877-373-8477, or Detective E.A. Ibarra at 214-671-3646.
