Have they found Alicia Navarro? How long was Alicia Navarro missing?

Alicia Navarro, a teenager from Glendale, Arizona who was reported missing on September 15, 2019 has been found.

Alicia Navarro, aged 18, went into a police station in a little Montana hamlet 40 miles from the Canadian border and identified herself as the kid who had been reported missing in September 2019, on July 26 2023.

“Alicia Navarro has been located,” Glendale public safety communications manager Jose Santiago said during a press conference. “She is by all accounts, safe, she is by all accounts healthy and she is by all accounts happy.”

The teenager who was described as autistic but high-functioning in her missing person’s report  left her Glendale home overnight on September 15, 2019, at just 14 years old.

Her parents, who were asleep when she slipped out of the house, found a handwritten note from their daughter stating: “I ran away. I will be back. I swear. I’m sorry.” the next day, according to KTAR News.

Glendale police said they are investigating how the teen travelled to Montana and who she has been staying with for the past four years, as many questions remain unanswered.
