- A Wisconsin woman who was a teenager when she disappeared nine years ago has been located in Mexico, living there with her husband and three children, police said on Thursday.

Connie McCallister was 16 when she disappeared in 2004. She called her mother a few days later but refused to say where she was.

McCallister, now 25, recently told police that she was drugged at a party and her boyfriend took her to Mexico against her will

I apologize ...thanx for the chastening

Prayers for her and her family.

Poor baby. I can’t imagine what this family went through. I want to be happy that they will hopefully be back together soon, but it’s just so heartbreaking that they lost this time together.

I am not buying either

she thought it would be exciting to go off and so romantic with tall dark and handsome

grew up fast once she got there

she was a spoiled little rebellious brat who put her family through hell

[yldstrk]

no you have no reason to apologize, you were undoubtedly correct

Sounds like a bunch of made up BS. This gal took off to Mexico at 16 with her boyfriend, they broke up (probably because she was messing around with her current husband) and now all these years later she want to come home and live off the US welfare system.

This gal took off to Mexico at 16 with her boyfriend

Her abusive 22 year old boyfriend. She got involved with this guy when she was 15. Still a child in my book. Anything she may have done "voluntarily" at 15-16 is still tragic to me.

The Daily Mail (UK) also has the story with a good representation of both sides.

Excerpt:

Miss McCallister apparently escaped from Freddie but ended up with another violent man who fathered her first child.

At one point he beat her so badly that she was taken to hospital, where someone helped her get a new identity, Ms Weise, who works for Trinity Lutheran Church in Athens, said.

Her story isn’t very believable. A lot of holes. I think she ran off with a boyfriend. She got another boyfriend, got pregnant, and he dumped her. then she got another boyfriend/husband and had 2 kids.

[RJS1950]

My BS meter pegged out so hard and fast that it cracked the lens and bent the needle.

She ran away with her boyfriend and eventually got homesick.
