Nearly four years after Alicia Navarro vanished from her Arizona home after leaving a cryptic note, the 18-year-old walked into a small-town Montana police station alone on Sunday morning with an unusual request.
“She literally walked into the police station and said, ‘I am Alicia Navarro. I know I am reported missing and I would like to be taken off that list and get a driver’s license,’” Tim Steele, the president of the Anti-Predator Project and the Navarro family spokesperson, told The Daily Beast. “She wanted a Montana drivers’ license.”
The Havre Police Department said that Navarro “appeared to be fine and in good health” when she made the strange plea around 11 a.m. on July 23. Still, police said in a statement, they immediately looked into her missing-person status and discovered that Navarro was the same teenager who had vanished in September 2019 in Glendale, Arizona, in a case that has since sparked national attention.
