An autistic teenager was filmed telling police ‘No one hurt me’ after she turned up in a Montana area four years after disappearing in Arizona.
New footage shared by Fox10 shows Alicia Navarro, 18, chatting with the Glendale, Arizona police who scheduled an emergency meeting with her after she reappeared earlier this week.
An officer asks her, ‘Did anyone hurt you in any way? ”No, nobody hurt me,’ Navarro replies.
Navarro, who has been described as having high-functioning autism, was just 14 when she slipped out of her Glendale home in September 2019.
She recently walked into a police department in Montana near the Canadian border and identified herself, Glendale police announced Wednesday. “By all accounts she is safe. She appears to be healthy and she appears to be happy, Officer Jose Miguel Santiago said at a news conference.
It remains unclear how Navarro, now 18, traveled more than 1,000 miles alone to a small town on the Canadian border to identify herself to police or where she has been since disappearing.
Her mother Jessica Nuñez now says her daughter’s reunion is proof that ‘miracles do exist’ as she urged family members of other missing people not to give up hope.
