(CNN) -- Hundreds of people gathered Tuesday night for a candlelight vigil outside a San Diego, California, church in honor of a teenage girl missing since Thursday.

The vigil was held just hours after authorities said they found human remains in an area where they had been searching for 17-year-old Chelsea King.
