A 14-year-old girl who went missing from her home in the San Diego metro area has been found alive in the barracks at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.
According to multiple news reports, law enforcement officers working on behalf of the US Marine Corps found the girl late last month and took a US Marine into custody in what has been a shocking and slow-developing case.

Per NBC San Diego, the girl first went missing from her grandmother’s house in the Spring Valley area of San Diego County back in early June. And strangely, she wasn’t reported as missing until four days after she was first noticed as being absent!
Melissa Aquino, a spokesperson for the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office, told NBC San Diego the 14-year-old had a history of running away:
When she didn’t return home this time, family members in Spring Valley began to worry. So, they called the sheriff’s office, and cops around San Diego County were put on notice. They became even more alarmed when, per Global News, family members informed cops that the teen has “learning disabilities.”
For three weeks, the girl didn’t turn up. Then, in late June, she was located within the military barracks on the grounds at Camp Pendleton. That’s the site of a massive Marine Corps base and training center on the Pacific Ocean in northern San Diego County.
