The 15-year-old was last seen in the early morning hours of Dec. 13, when she allegedly snuck out of her Katy-area house. She made several communications over email with family members in the days following, but nobody had heard from her since Dec. 15, when she was allegedly using a stranger’s phone charger in a Starbucks.

Over the weekend, KPRC 2 reporter Corley Peel spoke with the girl’s parents, who were hopeful that she would be found safe before Christmas. Tonight, we now know that their prayers were answered.
