MARSHVILLE, NC (WBTV) - A teen missing for nearly 4 years returned home to Union County Tuesday and told her mother she had been living with her boyfriend in Chicago.

The girl, who was 16-years-old when she went missing, did not come home from Forest Hills High School on April 21, 2008, Union County Sheriff's officials said.

The girl, Vasti Colmenares Gutierrez, left school after receiving text messages from her boyfriend, deputies said at the time.

Everyone was worried that the teen had "met some harm" after leaving the school and many attempts to find her over several months were unsuccessful.

On Tuesday, the girl returned to her Marshville home, where her mother lives, deputies said.

She had been living in Chicago with her ex-boyfriend for the last 3 years and 9 months, she told her mother.

"Vasti's mother is very glad to have her back home," said Det. Sgt Brian Helms of the Union County Sheriff's Dept.

Wow. I can't imagine the rush of feelings you'd have after a loved one missing (and presumed dead, I'm guessing) three years returned home. Prayers for the girl and her family.

First, I'd hug her, and then tell her she's grounded for the rest of the year.

What an unbelievably cruel young women. I’m sure her parents didn’t want to believe she was dead, but that was most likely. At 16 she was aware enough to realize that.

Let me see if I have this right:
Girl leaves school after receiving texts from her boyfriend.
She doesn’t go home and is reported missing.
She lives with her boyfriend for 3 years.
Nobody can find her for the three years she’s living with her boyfriend.

Does anybody else find this set of facts curious?

According to a missing persons website, the family suspected she was with the boyfriend, but had no idea of his name or whereabouts.
