The wording on how they found her sounds like "we used facial recognition" and didn't want to admit it, so went with "advanced technology" instead.... the rest sounds like bullshit to me. They don't want people aware of what they can do. This reaks of Palantir. Think the Ring find a dog commercial only with humans and on a world wide scale with millions of camera feeds.

Or DNA perhaps, one of those ancestry things.
This sounds like the teenager ran away and started a new life. Why she did that is nobody's business.
Very frustrating article. Glad she was found, but 'biggest fear, with no insight into prevention' doesn't seem great.
Seen this happen before a few times. The teens runs off to friends or someone they met online. Sometimes when they turn 18 they go report to police that they are not missing. After 32 years though she either got amnesia or really didn't want her family knowing about her location or give them closure. Lets hope she is happy.
So what happened? The longest cigarette break?
Sounds like she didn't want to be found.
