Missing teenager Alicia Navarro has been reunited with her mum, more than four years after she went missing, and months after she suddenly appeared at a police station in Arizona.
Alicia Navarro, 19, shocked the world when she walked into a police station four years after she went missing in the middle of the night - aged 14.
The teenager disappeared days before her 15th birthday in 2019, leaving a note to her sleeping parents promising she would come back.
In July, Alicia has turned up at a police station in Montana, 1000 miles from her home, asking to be taken off the missing persons list.
Months on, the 19-year-old has been reunited with her mother, Jessica Nunez, with the two reportedly planning to spend the holiday season together, Fox News reports.
A representative for family has confirmed that Alicia is now reunited with her mum and acknowledged that there would be challenges ahead.
Alicia has not attended school since she went missing, it is understood.
