Wow! Amazing!!!

Omg omg so so happy shes found safe !!!!!!!

 

[Rachel1]

Where's monkeypants????
She'd be happy to know Katarina had been found!

 

[Deltucky]

Hopefully she wasn't abducted, and left under her own will. As a minor, she will likely get lots of help; no matter what actually happened. Also, because of her age, we may not learn about what happened.

Wow what a great outcome! I really didn't think she would be found okay, with all the facts we were learning. Curious at to what happened with said 19 yo....PS nice to see some familiar faces from the A&L case.

Well, I think that was certainly most of our first impressions, but as time drew on it seemed less hopeful.

Just goes to show you. No matter HOW many people say she would never have done that, she did it.

Glad she's found safe. Interesting the man she was with was arrested, and yet she was found "unharmed".

It'll be interesting to see what comes of this 19 yr old man.
Did he abduct her?
Or did she go willingly and he harbored her?

I don't know. Interestingly, the age of consent in both Mass and Ohio is 16. It'll be interesting what crime he's charged with, and if it "sticks".

I don't think police would arrest a 19 yr old man for the sole reason of having a relationship with a 17 yr old girl? They're only two years apart? I'm unsure what the age of consent is in Ohio. Anyone know?
If they are looking to extradite him from mass to Ohio , what degree charges could he be facing?
Let me reword that- would they extradite him for a 4th degree charge or would it have to be more serious for then to bother?
Again I'm not familiar with the law in that state so I'm asking if any of you guys reading are?
What class of charges would warrant extradition back to Ohio ? Would they waste their time extraditing him for a misdemeanor crime or would it have to be more serious?
The reason I'm asking is that it will help narrow down what he could possibly be charged with.

So grateful and happy she is found. I can only imagine how her parents feel.

I hope she was not abducted.

As others, I'm curious as to what happened. (If by any chance it was voluntary, this is the perfect example of why LE first thinks of a runaway, etc. in a disappearance and it can take a while before the boots hit the ground.)

I feel sorry for her sweet boyfriend back home. What a blow.

Well they must be flooded with relief - but when the thrill subsides, I'm not sure I could ever have quite the same relationship with her again.
