Missing 14-year-old girl ran away from Arizona home in 2019, seemingly vanishing. This week she showed up at a Montana police station, saying 'no one hurt me.'

In 2019 when she was 14 years old, Alicia Navarro ran away from her Arizona home in the middle of the night and seemingly vanished — until authorities on Wednesday said she showed up alone at a Montana police station, saying "no one hurt me."

What are the details?

Navarro was described as having high-functioning autism when she departed her Glendale home over three years ago on Sept. 15, KSAZ-TV reported.

She left a note for her mother that read, "I ran away. I will be back, I swear. I'm sorry. — Alicia," the station said.

Her mother, Jessica Nunez, had been searching for her ever since, KSAZ reported.

The search suddenly ended this week.

Glendale police announced Wednesday that Alicia showed up at a police station in a very small Montana town — they're not disclosing its name — about 40 miles from the Canadian border, KSAZ reported. She walked in alone, KTVK-TV reported.

Glendale police also provided videos and a photo of Alicia — who's now 18 and nearing age 19 — when she entered the police department, KSAZ noted.

In a video Alicia told police "no one hurt me" when asked if she was hurt in any way, KSAZ said, adding that she also thanked police for helping her.

"She showed up to a police department, she identified herself as Alicia Navarro, and she basically asked for help to clear her off of a missing juvenile list," Glendale Police spokesperson Jose Santiago said, according to KSAZ. "She, by all accounts, went on her own free will, she is not in any kind of trouble, she’s not facing any kind[s] of charges, she is not being held anywhere. She is coming and going [on] her own free will, and she has been extremely cooperative not only with our folks but our federal partners as well."

Santiago added that Alicia "is by all accounts safe, she is by all accounts healthy, and she is by all accounts happy," the station said, adding that she's still in Montana and had an emotional reunion with her mother.

Her mom posted a video on Facebook after hearing the news, KSAZ said: "First of all, 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."

Now what?

Glendale police told KTVK they immediately responded to the area in Montana and are investigating the case with the help of the U.S. Marshal's Office and the FBI.

“I would ask patience, not only for us as law enforcement in this investigation, but patience for Alicia and for her family,” Glendale police Lt. Scott Waite said, according to KTVK. “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.”

KSAZ said that before her disappearance in 2019, Alicia often stayed home, was into anime, played online video games, and was described as smart and introverted — but had met people through social media.

When Alicia left her home, she took her MacBook and cell phone with her, KSAZ said — but since that day, there was no digital trace of her.
