A man linked to formerly missing teenager Alicia Navarro has been charged by police.

Navarro went missing at the age of 14 in 2019 and recently turned up to a police station in a small town in Montana, close to the Canadian border.

“She is by all accounts safe, she is by all accounts healthy, and she is by all accounts happy,” Jose Santiago, a spokesman for Glendale Police said during a news conference on July 26.

It's believed the now-18-year-old initially ran away from home, but the case is still under investigation.
