NEW: Alicia Navarro's mother tells ABC15 that an individual was detained for questioning and released, following her years-long disappearance from Arizona.
HAVRE, MT — An Arizona teenager who disappeared days before her 15th birthday nearly four years ago is safe after walking into a small-town police station in Montana this week, authorities announced Wednesday.
Investigators are now trying to determine what happened to Navarro after vanishing at age 14 and how she ended up in Montana, more than 1,300 miles away from her hometown. Law enforcement officers took a man into custody at an apartment just a few blocks from the Havre police station on Wednesday night, according to several witnesses interviewed by The Associated Press.
“She came out, talked to the officers, then two ladies pulled up and then she got into a car with them and they left,” Lieberg said. Police said Navarro told them after her arrival at the station she hadn’t been harmed, wasn’t being held and could come and go as she pleased. She does not face any criminal charges, they added.
