An Arizona girl who disappeared in the night just days before her 15th birthday four years ago was found safe several states away this week — when she walked into a police station and asked to be removed from the missing children list.
Alicia Navarro, now 18, walked into a police department in a tiny Montana town 40 miles from the Canadian border and identified herself as the teen who was reported missing in September 2019, Glendale police said Wednesday.
“Alicia Navarro has been located,” Glendale public safety communications manager Jose Santiago said during a press conference. “She is by all accounts safe, she is by all accounts healthy and she is by all accounts happy.”
The teenager — who was described as autistic but high-functioning in her missing person’s report — left her Glendale home overnight on Sept. 15, 2019, at just 14 years old.
