Missing Teen Returns Home

2008_11_13_teen.jpgTisha Muentes, the 15-year-old who went missing two days ago and prompted a frantic search, nonchalantly returned home yesterday, saying she had taken a bus to Indianapolis because she, “felt she needed to get away for a while." Authorities say the girl left town on her own accord and claims she didn't leave town to meet anyone. She was described as being "mentally stable and healthy" and no charges will be filed. Of course, we're sure her parents have a thing or two to say to her about all of this after the work her firefighter father and his colleagues put in looking for her.
