Interesting happy ending story, re how we often think of children here

Alicia Navarro of Arizona is an autistic teen girl who liked Asian anime cartoons and video games.

Suddenly in September 2019 - before her 15th birthday - she stacked chairs up by her garden wall, and totally disappeared - leaving the note for her mother that you see in the bottom of this photo. 


The note said:

"I ran away. I will be back, I swear. I'm sorry."

There was never any trace of her tho many tips were followed up by police and FBI.

This week - and now age 18, nearly 19 - Alicia suddenly showed up, walking into a police station in Havre Montana, more than 1000 miles to the north. She seemed healthy and happy. 'No, no one hurt me,' she assured puzzled police.

Her mother Jessica Nuñez flew to Montana for a happy reunion with her apologetic daughter. 

How the girl lived for nearly 4 years is still a mystery.

The mother said -

"I want to give glory to God for answering prayers and for this miracle. For everyone who has missing loved ones, I want you to use this case as an example. Miracles do exist. Never lose hope and always fight."

  2. Daily Mail update:

    'Autistic teenager Alicia Navarro, 18, who turned up at police station after going missing for four years now FLEES with the man, 36, she'd secretly been living with

    Navarro moved out of the Montana apartment where she had been living with Eddy Davis, 36: police say she is an adult and is free to go

    Navarro and Davis were helped with their belongings by Davis's relatives, then drove off in several cars.

    Navarro had walked into a police station in Havre, Montana on July 23 and said she no longer wanted to be declared missing because she wanted a driving license.

    Neighbors have now described how the FBI quickly surrounded Navarro's building before eventually entering with armed officers on July 23, and described how a distressed Navarro looked 'really young'.'

    It is not clear if this man was her partner earlier when she was aged 14 or 15 - 'age of consent' in Montana is 16.

    But also, the young lady is not co-operating with police enquiries, and she is free to do so. If she changes her mind later, there can be a prosecution of anyone who was her sexual partner when she was under-age.

    The young woman seems content with her situation and indicated she does not wish yet to return to her mother.

  3. Many many children run away, heart anxiously beating as they exit, some to great tragedy ... but some better off despite hardship and never going back

    Police report that young Alicia was healthy- and happy-seeming (aside from having the FBI shove through her apartment door) ... and was merely trying to eliminate the roadblock to her getting a driving license, that resulted from being listed as 'missing'

    Much is still unknown, whether this current gent is someone she met at age 14 when she ran away, or someone much later ... and what her former home with her mother was really like

    Some in the Latino community have commented that sexual groping of children is not unknown in Hispanic neighbourhoods as well, and often unreported ... did the mother have 'boyfriends' etc? We don't know.

    Is this still perhaps a 'happy ending' story, all things considered?
    Wasn't Shakespeare's Juliet close around age 14-15 when she ran away?
