MAPLE CREEK, Sask. - A Saskatchewan family says two masked intruders burst into their home and demanded a pregnant teenager pack some clothes and leave with them.

RCMP in Maple Creek have issued an Amber Alert for Katelyn Mosquito, a 14-year-old who is eight months pregnant. Both her relatives and police believe she is with her boyfriend, 16-year-old Jonathan Hansen.

Katelyn was at her father's home in the southwestern community, watching a movie and reading books on pregnancy, when there was banging on the door about 11 p.m. Wednesday, said her sister Stana Anaskan.

Anaskan said she opened the door and the two people wearing ski masks pushed themselves inside. She thought they were there to rob the home.

"Is Katelyn here?" asked one guy who had a small wooden bat. Anaskan said she immediately recognized the voice. He then walked through the home walked through the home and found Katelyn in another room. "Get your stuff. Make it quick," he told her.

Anaskan said the person pushed her sister out the door, but didn't threaten anyone. She said the other intruder was also holding some sort of weapon but left without saying a word.

As soon as the two left, she called police.

Marlene Mosquito said her daughter and Hansen had been in a relationship for about a year. The girl got pregnant when she was 13.

Mosquito described Hansen as verbally abusive and possessive. He and his mother wanted Katelyn to live with them and the two families argued about it, she said.

Katelyn had been staying with Hansen, but Marlene Mosquito said she convinced her daughter to return home with her Monday following a medical appointment in Medicine Hat. She then persuaded her daughter to break up with him.

"She agreed, but she said, 'I'm scared of him Mom. He's always yelling at me."

A few hours before the girl was taken, messages were posted on a Facebook page belonging to a Katelyn Mosquito. The page contains the same photo that was issued by police. A black-and-white sonogram of an unborn child is displayed as a profile picture.

"I wish someone could love me," wrote the user, declaring her new status as single.

"I love Katelyn more than my own life but IM not going to keep letting her family drive me insane," replied someone using the name Jonathan Hansen.

Katelyn is the youngest of Marlene Mosquito's nine children.

"I just want her home. She's my baby."

She said she doesn't think Hansen would harm Katelyn because she's carrying his child. But she's also worried he might resort to violence over the thought of losing her. "I'm thinking he's thinking ... if he can't have her nobody can have her."

She also hopes the stress of the situation doesn't cause Katelyn to go into early labour. Her baby boy is due Feb. 27, but a doctor has said the baby has dropped and could come at any time, the mother said.

Anaskan said her sister may have had a contraction about 90 minutes before she left the home. Katelyn once clutched her stomach in pain but seemed fine after that.

Another sister, Amy Mosquito, 16, was also in the home at the time. She was the subject of a missing person search in 2010. At the time, RCMP said the girl was found safe in a home in the Maple Creek area.

Sgt. Paul Dawson, an RCMP spokesman in Regina, said police are doing everything they can to make sure Katelyn is returned home safely.

"The element of danger is that she was forcibly removed from the residence and we are fearful that harm may come to here. That is why we issued the Amber Alert," he said.

"Had it been a case where two people were going off, it wouldn't have been an Amber Alert."

Police describe Katelyn as aboriginal, five-foot-three and 160 pounds. She is believed to be wearing pyjama-type pants and an orange hoodie with the words "Maple Creek Composite High" on it.

Hansen is a Caucasian male about five-foot-11, 150 pounds and has light brown hair and blue-grey eyes. He is also from the Maple Creek area and has modifications stretching both earlobes.

Police initally said the suspect may have been heading to Alberta in a green 1995 Ford Escort owned by one of his relatives. But on Thursday afternoon RCMP said they had found the car abandoned in the Maple Creek area.

The alert was issued as southern Saskatchewan braced for a second blast of winter this week. Environment Canada issued a blizzard warning for a region stretching from the Alberta boundary to Fort Qu’appelle because of a system that is also expected to bring frigid temperatures and gusting wind.
