Missing teen, Alicia Navarro, found safe and alive at Montana

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Missing teen, Alicia Navarro, found safe and alive at Montana.

– Glendale Police Department says a girl that went missing in 2019 has been found safe out of state after years of searching.

During a news conference on July 26, Glendale Police spokesperson Jose Santiago announced Alicia Navarro was found safe in Montana.

This comes after the department received thousands of leads in this case. The police department is now investigating the case with the assistance of the US Marshals Office and the FBI.

‘I would ask patience, not only for us as law enforcement in this investigation, but patience for Alicia and her family,’ Glendale Police Department Lt. Scott Waite said Wednesday.

‘We can only imagine what she’s going through, mentally, emotionally, as well as her family, and as much as we’d like to say this is the end, this is probably only the beginning of where this investigation will go.’ 

It remains unclear how the teenager traveled more than 1,000 miles to a small town on the border of Canada, and if she was staying with anyone.

But her mother now says Navarro’s recent reappearance is proof ‘miracles do exist,’ as she urged family members of other missing people to have hope.

Navarro had not been heard from since she left her home in the early morning hours of September 15, 2019 while her parents were sleeping.

After hearing the news that an 18-year-old identified herself as the missing teenager, Glendale police said they immediately responded to the unspecified small town in Montana.

Officers said they were able to verify Navarro’s identity, and said she has been extremely cooperative with authorities.

‘I can’t even begin to express to you all the pride that I personally have in the men and women here at our police department,’ Santiago said. 

‘Since her disappearance, our men and women here have been working tirelessly around the clock to not only bring closure to this family, but to make sure Alicia gets everything she possibly needs.’ 

He added that the girl ‘by all accounts appears to be in good spirits’ and ‘really just wants to move on with her life.

According to police, Navarro was reportedly found in a Montana town that is located close to the U.S.-Canadian border.

“We are happy, and at the same time, we are hopeful we will be able to supply this family with a little more closure,” Santiago said.

Loved ones say she’s a high-functioning girl with autism who did something her mother calls out of her character. Her mom remained relentless in her search for her daughter as years came and went.
