A girl from Arizona who vanished nearly four years ago has shown up at a Montana police station.
Since Alicia Navarro allegedly ran away in 2019, thousands of tips have been submitted to the FBI and the Centre for Missing and Exploited Children. She “showed up at a police department” around 40 miles (64 km) from the US-Canada border, according to authorities in her hometown of Glendale, Arizona.
Miracles do happen, as her mother, Jessica Nunez, wrote in a Facebook post. The message that Alicia left behind when she disappeared from their house on September 15, 2019, when she was 14 years old, read: “I went away. I’ll be back, I promise. My apologies.”
However, her mother claimed in an interview with CBS News, a US partner of the BBC, that she thought her daughter had been abducted by a stranger she met online. She elaborated that the situation didn’t occur suddenly or unexpectedly. She believed that the person in question was lured into it, perhaps expecting an exciting adventure, party, or even the prospect of love. She stated that the adolescent was a die-hard gamer who had been identified as high-functioning on the autism spectrum. Ms. Nunez claims that her child was the first in Arizona to get a silver alert—a specialized form of emergency notification for those missing who have “specific cognitive or developmental problems” and elders.
Jose Santiago, a representative for Glendale police, said during a press conference that Alicia, now 18 years old, entered the Montana police station by herself and gave her name. Despite asking for assistance to be removed from the list of missing children, he stated she appeared secure, healthy, and content. She didn’t seem to be in “any type of problem,” Mr. Santiago continued, and she seemed to have left her house on purpose. The mystery of how Alicia traveled more than 1,200 miles (1,900 km) from her home to Montana is still unsolved, and the case is still being looked into.
In a video posted on the Finding Alicia Facebook page, Ms. Nunez said her daughter was safe but gave no other information. She expressed her desire to give thanks to God for performing this miraculous event and for answering her prayers.

She urged others to view this case as an inspiration for those with missing loved ones, emphasizing that miracles do happen. She encouraged everyone to persevere and remain determined in their pursuit, never losing hope or giving up. Lieutenant Scott Waite told reporters that the mother-daughter reunion was “emotionally overpowering” and that Alicia was “extremely sorry” for what she had caused her mother to go through.
