A woman who went missing a year ago showed up at a gas station before being arrested shortly after.
Back in June 2024, 35-year-old Tori Milsak went missing from Hot Springs, Arkansas. It sparked a huge police search and frantic concern from Milsak's family.
Just over a year later and Milsak turned up at a gas station in Little Rock, where she told a member of staff who she was and that she had been missing.

According to a report obtained by Newsweek, police arrived and Milsak was taken into custody over an outstanding warrant.
"HSPD would like to update the Hot Springs community that after an extensive search for Tori Milsak, she was located on 06-19-2025 and is safe. Thank you to everyone who shared her missing person post. No other information is available at this time," the Hot Springs Police Department wrote on Facebook.
According to reports, Milsak said she had run away from home but saw that she had been reported missing on the news.

Milsak was taken to the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility but was believed to be being moved by Garland County officials on Friday (June 27).
UNILAD has reached out to the Hot Springs Police Department for further comment.
Following Milsak coming forward, a friend has set up a GoFundMe to aid with her well-being.

"Thank you for standing with her. Every share, every kind word, and every contribution means more than you know."
Milsak's brother, Jason Hamel, has said he was shocked to hear that his sister had been found.
"I'd been told that she might have been murdered multiple times," he told WRBC News.
"Hope was lost. I mean, like everybody said, you hold onto that one percent that she'd be found alive, and she's that one percent."
