Washington Teen Found Safe in Michigan with Sex Offender

A missing teen from Washington state was found unharmed in the home of a 30-year-old sex offender in Michigan after disappearing from her home in January. Investigators tracked her down to a home near Blue Star Memorial Highway in South Haven, Michigan, and the man, identified as "Keith," was taken into custody pending charges of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, sex offender failure to comply with registration act, and contributing to child delinquency. The incident is being treated as second-degree kidnapping due to the teen traveling across state lines, and formal criminal charging is still being coordinated between agencies.
