Amber Alert canceled after Shelton teen found in Olympia
SHELTON, Wash. -- The teen whose disappearance triggered an Amber Alert on Wednesday has been found.
Vivian Gaspar-Guerrero was found in Olympia around 3:30 p.m. She had not been abducted as feared, investigators said.
The girl was reported missing at 7:30 a.m. after her family members found signs of struggle in her empty bedroom. They had last seen her the night before at 9 p.m.
"Investigators found the screen had been cut, the window had been open and there had been a struggle of some sort inside the bedroom," said Dean Byrd with the Mason County Sheriff's Office.
Byrd said the girl left her house on her own volition and walked 15-miles to a man's house in a small town near Harstine Island called Agate. When she got to the house, the man told her everyone was looking for her and called police.
Police are now interviewing the girl.

This story sounds fishy to me... I think a more believable scenario is that he abducted her and told her he'd kill her if she didn't say she left on her own. Â Who knows what they really did before he called authorities. Â Most people casually walk between 3 and 5 miles per hour. Â If she walked 15 miles at just 3 MPH (a 20 minute mile), then it would have taken 5 hours. Â Say she didn't leave until 7 (her family reported her missing at 7:30, so they must have found that before then), then she should have been there around 12 noon, 3.5 hours before she supposedly arrived. Â And nobody saw her along the 15 mile road just walking along? Â There's definitely more to this story...
So what would the man have done if the police weren't on the way?
