This absolutely the best news I could have woke up to this morning. I am so doing the happy dance around my house. Still lots of questions but she is alive and ultimately that is what this is all about!
A 12-year-old Hall County girl missing for nearly two months has been found safe in another state, law enforcement officials announced late Thursday, July 25.

"Investigators believe that MG-P had been communicating with the man via Facebook and had told him she was unhappy and wanted to leave home. Despite the communication, Sheriff Couch reiterated that "M is the victim."
Authorities said the man drove from Ohio to Gainesville, Georgia, on May 29, picked M up, and then traveled back to Dover, Ohio, where they are believed to have been since."
and
"Couch says Augustin was arrested and is being held in Ohio on a rape charge. He will likely face several felonies in both Ohio and Georgia."

Missing 12-year-old Hall County girl found in Ohio with man she met online
Hall County Sheriff Gerald Couch said she'd been communicating with the suspect on Facebook Messenger.
Some additional info.
So glad she was found!
He says M met Antonio Agustin, a Guatemalan native, online and began chatting with him and other adult men through Facebook Messenger. She told Agustin that she was unhappy and wanted to leave home.
On May 29, Agustin drove from his Ohio home to Gainesville to pick M up and take her back to northeast Ohio, where investigators believe they have been since.
The sheriff went on to say that they found her after she made another Facebook account and messaged her father to let him know that she was fine, but wasn’t coming home and wanted him to stop looking for her.
Investigators were able to use the IP address from that message to track down the phone number and M’s location.

To do any of this to a child is evil. Hope the system will keep him permanently off the streets.

‘Just a little girl:’ Dad of missing 12-year-old reacts after she’s found safe nearly 2 months later
She was found Thursday night with a 34-year-old man in Dover, Ohio nine hours from her home.
"She’s 12 years old. She’s a little girl,” Gomez said. “She has a life in front of her. She wants to study. She wants to go to school.”
Investigators said Agustin communicated with M online for a long time before deciding to abduct her.
Gomez is worried he may have hurt more children. Investigators are looking into Agustin’s background to see if anyone else is at risk.
Child Services is now working with M to determine what is best for her."

Please check your kids devices.
Some brilliant mind need to come up with a solution to this problem.
A grown man communicating for a long time with 12 yr old and nobody is the wiser.

Prayers that this community - hopefully motherly type women - who worked so hard to locate and bring her home can band together and become positive maternal role models. She has more potential, here in the US, than to become a very very young wife.

They were able to track the phone to a residence in Dover.
Believing the information was a credible lead to M's location, officials say, HCSO sent four CIB investigators to Tuscarawas County.
According to officials, the investigators were able to track the phone to the Dover City Park area where they made visual contact with M and Agustin.
When the two got into a vehicle and traveled to a nearby shopping center parking lot, they, along with members of the Tuscarawas County Sheriff’s Office followed.
Officials say they recovered M at the scene.

Augustin had not yet seen a judge as of Friday and no bail had been set, Fisher said. Augustin doesn’t have an attorney who could speak for him, Fisher said. An extradition hearing to Georgia is likely next week with Ohio officials planning to prosecute Augustin after legal proceedings conclude in Georgia, Fisher added.
Fisher said federal immigration officials have placed a detainer on Augustin, indicating they could seek to deport him, but Fisher said he didn’t know Augustin’s immigration status. Augustin’s only previous encounter with law enforcement in Tuscarawas County came in 2021 when he was cited for driving without a license and with an open container of alcohol.
