Sarah Heinrich, 18, of Orlando, was on vacation with her family in Indianapolis to attend a family reunion when she vanished on Saturday.
Her father, Jim Heinrich, told News 6 his daughter has autism, and he said she wandered away from the hotel they were staying at with her camera.
On Wednesday, Indianapolis police told Heinrich they had found his daughter, and she was with a man.
He said police would not reunite them because she was 18 and a legal adult and able to make her own choices.
Heinrich said he is working to get an emergency guardianship order from a Seminole County judge to force Indianapolis police to bring their daughter to them.
As of Wednesday night, he said the order had been signed, but it was being processed in Seminole County.
He estimated it would be in the Police Department's hands by 8:30 a.m. CDT on Thursday.​
