While police are investigating their disappearance, the girl’s father is afraid they may have run away. However, he does find it unusual the girl’s left their glasses behind, reported NBC 4 Washington.

"They left with nothing," Ramon Matos, the girls' father told NBC 4. "They've got nothing with them. They got no money, no clothes, nothing."

Ramon also believe Karmen deleted her Instagram account shortly after they left the home.

The sisters’ parents last saw them around 11 p.m. Saturday at their home in Silver Spring. About 11 a.m. the following morning, the parents went into the girls' bedroom and could not find them, police say.
