CHANDLER, AZ — Chandler police say a 13-year-old who was reported missing last week has been located Sunday afternoon.
Officials say the teen left her home near Gilbert Road and Hunt Highway on April 12 around 6 p.m. to stay the night at a friend's house. The 13-year-old was supposed to be back home the next morning, though on April 13, it was learned that she never arrived at her friend's house.
Police say that the teen's phone was located on the evening of April 14 abandoned on a bus in Tempe.
It was believed that she was with 21-year-old Shawn Paul Riherd. On Sunday, police say Riherd has since been detained for questioning.
Chandler police say "charges are forthcoming." It is unclear what those charges may include.
This incident remains under investigation and no further information is available.
ABC15 will continue to follow up on this story.
