I know she has been located now, but just doing a bit of snooping around and I see that her uncle died shortly before she went missing, aged just 50. Just wondering if this had any impact on the family that contributed to her actions, or may be it was unrelated.

To everyone's surprise, Paul, now 19, walked into a local police station, and asked to speak to a detective.

“Her remarks to him was she's happy, she's fine where she's at and she had a good support system.

But in a heartbreaking twist, Paul said she doesn't want her family to know her whereabouts.

dysfunction in every family, right? Sad when it becomes so public, but that is often necessary... each situation is different.

To hear that she has a good support system, that's huge!

Imagine the pain of losing a loved one, not to death, but undue circumstances. The family of a teen girl who vanished from her house in Tallahassee, Florida, battled the same trauma.

Emily Wynell Paul was only 14 when she disappeared in 2013. As was expected, her loved ones never stopped looking for her, hoping she'd return one day.
