Missing Teen Recovered MIles From Home


Police officers in Gridley, Calif., recovered a teenage girl who'd been missing for two days. Cops spotted fourteen-year-old Elvia Flores walking in an alleyway, and she tried to flee when they approached her.

Earlier in the day, police ascertained that Elvia was not at the center of a kidnapping plot -- as had been feared for the past two days -- but rather a willing participant.

Investigators say that text messages and witnesses verified that Elvia had taken off with her boyfriend. Police in Sutter County are now questioning Elvia about her disappearance and say her boyfriend may face charges.
