Arizona teen Alicia Navarro -- who went missing at just 14 years old -- has been found safe four years after she mysteriously disappeared leaving her suburban Phoenix home in 2019. She was discovered in Montana, and there are unanswered questions about why she vanished.
When Did Alicia Navarro Disappear?
Alicia, who was described as having high-functioning autism, was last seen at her home in Glendale, Arizona, leaving the house in the early morning hours of September 15, 2019. At the time, she was 14 years old and just five days away from her 15th birthday. She left a note assuring her parents she would return, but they never saw Alicia again.
Private investigator Trent Steele -- president of the Anti-Predator Project -- dedicated himself to Alicia's case and poured more than 50 hours a week into finding the missing teen. "We've had tips come all the way from Los Angeles to New York with alleged sightings, even out here in Florida where I'm at," he said back in 2022. "None of them have panned out."
Where Was Alicia Navarro Found?
Alicia was found living in a small Montana town close to the U.S.-Canadian border, Glendale Police revealed in a July 26, 2023, news conference. She is now 18 years old.
"She is by all accounts safe, she is by all accounts healthy, and she is by all accounts happy. She went to a local police department in that area, she identified herself as Alicia Navarro, and at that point our officers went into investigation mode," Glendale Police spokesperson Jose Santiago told reporters. He said their department provided videos and a photo to the Montana town's police to help confirm it was Alicia.
"We are happy, and at the same time, we are hopeful we will be able to supply this family with a little more closure," he continued, adding Alicia had asked for privacy at this time."
