Sheriff: Missing teen out on crime spree

Mostly the same information as the other article but a little different.
I’m glad she’s safe but it’s definitely strange.
If she is developmentally challenged the person who manipulated her into this is a very dangerous person.

“Cases like these are frustrating," said Richland County Sherriff Leon Lott. "An entire community was searching for this missing teen, and it turns out she was just out on a crime spree. Our investigators worked tirelessly on this case and Zmaiah’s parents have been terrified and heart-broken waiting on answers. We are thankful that Zmaiah was found safe and hope that she makes better decisions in the future for her sake and her family.”



Missing teen found, now suspect in "crime spree," RCSD says

I wonder if maybe she did get $400 for something and it funded her little adventure.
