Eh, you never know. Could have easily been an abusive home life where this disappearance was her escape. Could also have been a "ran away with an older boyfriend" thing, and they ended up breaking up this summer.
That honestly seems the most likely given a lack of information about arrests or needed medical attention.
She was 15 when she disappeared, not 5. That's definitely old enough to actually make an informed decision to leave. If her home life was bad, not wanting anything to do with returning and actively avoiding any sort of situation that could result in that. It is entirely possible that running away from home was in fact the best option for her.
Yeah. It's hard to say with such scant information in the article.
Suddenly being found when they become an adult is the thing that cinches it for me
