RAHWAY — Missing Clark teenager Kara Alongi, who gained national attention after posting a fake plea for help on Twitter, was seen on a security camera at a Union County train station, police and her family said tonight.

The image shows the 16-year-old girl holding a backpack and a large purse at the NJ Transit station in Rahway. Earlier today, a taxi company confirmed that a girl matching her description was driven to the train station Sunday night.

Family members are circulating flyers with the image in hopes of finding Kara as soon as possible.

Alongi set Twitter ablaze late Sunday night when she tweeted a chilling and seemingly frantic message to her followers: "There is somone in my hour ecall 911."

The lone tweet went viral, with messages of fear, hope and prayers for the Arthur L. Johnson High School student. Alongi gained tens of thousands of new Twitter followers in a few hours.

Clark police confirmed Sunday night that the girl's initial tweet was a hoax and there were no signs of foul play in Alongi 's home.

Alongi remains missing as of early tonight.
