The 15-year-old Louisiana girl who is believed to have run off willingly with a family friend who is more than 30 years her senior has been found and the man she was with has been arrested.
Authorities said Domeanna Spell was located with Cory 'Shane' Disotell, 47, on Friday in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, which is 1,165 miles from where she was last seen just over one week ago.
Spell, who has been deemed safe, had been missing for just over one week, after being previously last seen getting off the school bus at Port Barre High School in Louisiana at around 7am on March 28.
'This was a joint effort with our agency, the FBI, US marshals, state police, St. Landry Parish sheriffs office and many other agencies and organizations, working tirelessly and fervently,' Port Barre Police Chief Deon Bordeaux said.
'We are so thankful that the hard work paid off and the end result was this girl was found safe.'
