Yep- watching it unfold here on television. I can't imagine what this little girl has endured but at least she is has been found now and the recovery can begin. I know a lot of people have been in prayer over this around here and around the country.

Amazing! I'm sure her parents are so thrilled... must go find the news on tv now...

There will be a news conference on CNN at 7 PM.

That is really amazing. Her family must be overwhelmed. I'm sure she'll need some therapy to help her cope, but at least she is alive and back with her family.

just amazing! it is so rare that these stories have a happy ending. thank the lord.

Thank God. It's so seldom that missing children or teens are found alive. Her parents must be overwhelmed with joy!

Considering that the FBI says that children and teens not found in the first few hours after disappearance have a slim to none chance of being found alive, this is truly a miracle. Her parents must be so happy that they don't know what to do now!

So fantastic to hear "good" news on the news. Truly a miracle in a time when we need them so badly.

I do not know how reliable this info is, but I heard somewhere that they had spoken to this guy's family members and they said he was very religious, (a weirdo fanatic) and probably did not physically molest or harm her. It may have been a case of thinking he was saving her from something. I truly hope that was the case, and he was not some pervert doing unspeakable things to the poor child.

Rebecca, I read that he is a self-proclaimed "prophet" to homeless people.

my hubby told me when he got home. that is just so amazing!
