It is a rare sighting when a missing person is founded then the mystery deepens even more. A similar kind of incident has come to the fore in Montana, USA. As per reports, an Arizona teenager who went missing at the age of 14 walked into a Police station safe & secure by herself. The teenager named Alicia Navarro, (now) 18, from Glendale, Arizona had grabbed the global headlines when he went missing and even the FBI had to be involved in the search for her. However, the cops could never find Alicia Navarro. Now, the question arises where was Alicia Navarro from the past 4 years and why did she run away from her parents? Let's understand in detail below-
Where was Alicia Navarro?
Alicia Navarro showed up alone this week in a small Montana town about 64 kilometers from the Canadian border and identified herself. Notably, the cops are yet to reveal how she traveled from Arizona to Montana, more than 1,600 kilometers away from her home in the Phoenix suburb. Glendale police spokesperson was quoted by US media saying, "She is by all accounts safe, she is by all accounts healthy, and she is by all accounts happy..She showed up at a police department. She identified herself as Alicia Navarro. She basically asked for help to clear her off of a missing juvenile list."
The cops informed that they are still investigating the whereabouts of Alicia where she stayed for past 4 years and could not be spotted despite of the intensive search including the FBI and the Center for Missing and Exploited Children. For the unaware, Alicia had been diagnosed as high-functioning on the autism spectrum and was an avid video game player. Alicia's mother had informed that her daughter was the first in Arizona to receive a silver alert, a rare emergency notification for missing persons with "specific cognitive or developmental disabilities" and seniors.
During that time, Alicia's mother had expressed that she might have been lured by someone she met online. However, Alicia had left a note behind saying, "I ran away. I will be back, I swear. I’m sorry." The cops stated that initial questioning has revealed that she left her home by her choice, however, they are looking into 'the dynamics surrounding that decision'.
Notably, a video is also going viral on social media in which Alicia Navarro can be seen answering questions on her disappearance and she cleary says that she is fine and safe. The video has got viral and netizen think that something is not right in Alicia Navarro's missing case.

Another user wrote, "Wow, what an unexpected twist... After all these years, she walks in and asks to be taken off the missing children list? It's a relief to know she's safe, but it also raises so many questions. What led her to this point? What has she been through? Hoping she gets the support she needs to navigate what comes next."
One more user wrote, "I think she was groomed. The video of her leaves me feeling very unnerved. There’s something going on in this case still, but I’m glad it wasn’t “remains found.” Her mom has been searching for four years."
"So she disappeared at 14? she keeps acting like she’s not alone, something very sketchy going on," wrote another user.
