Maumelle police say they have found 12 year old Juana Perez at a home just outside of Lonoke. A Morgan Nick alert was issued for the young girl when she dissappeared from a Maumelle home.
Police believed she ran off with a family friend, 33 year old Alberto Zapeda.
The two were allegedly involved in a relationship, but Maumelle police chief Sam Williams said his department refused to use the word consensual.
"No matter what they have going on or what she thinks they have, he`s still very much of interest to us simply because he is in the presence of a 12 year old girl. Even if she thinks she wants to be with him, she cannot be."
Zapeda will likely be charged with kidnapping.
