MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) - A missing Moorhead teen has been found alive and well in Texas, four years after her disappearance.

Police said Amber Akerley initially was afraid to call her mother for fear she'd get in trouble for running away.

The family eventually changed their number, and when Amber did try to reach them, she couldn't find them.

Amber is now 19 and has a child. Police Detective Mike Detloff said she's been in contact with her family and plans to move back to Moorhead this summer.
