The reunion between Alicia and her mother was described as “emotionally overwhelming.” Alicia expressed remorse for the distress she put her mother through during the long period of separation. Now that she has been found and her safety ensured, Alicia is looking forward to moving on with her life.
Missing teenager
Alicia disappeared in the middle of the night on September 15, over three years ago.
She is described as a high-functioning autistic teen. And her case received extensive attention. And generated thousands of leads over the years.
Her mother Jessica Nunez never stopped looking for her. And her sudden appearance in a Montana town is a relief to the family.
The young girl’s safe return comes as a blessing for her worried family, especially her mother. Jessica refused to give up hope that her daughter was alive.
Her mother’s worse fear is that Alicia might have been lured away by someone she encountered online. And she was afraid that her daughter was being harmed.
