A 14-year-old girl who had been missing since Christmas Eve has returned to her home in Salinas, according to Salinas police.
Stephanie Arciniega, 14, was last seen leaving her Salinas home at approximately 9:30 p.m., and her family hadn’t heard from her since, suspecting she may be in Gilroy or San Jose.
Though initial reports say she may have run away from home, her family told authorities they believe she may be being held against her will.
