@CBSNews update: we have now learned from the Gila County Sheriff’s Office that she reportedly ran away and was with an undisclosed family member. We are still waiting for more information on *how* law enforcement was able to locate and ID her, and *why* she ran away in the first place.

An Arizona girl who vanished in 1994 has been found alive 32 years later, cracking open a case that went cold after extensive search efforts, the Gila County sheriff said Wednesday. A former FBI agent tells CBS News' @thomasrhanson that this outcome is nothing short of a miracle. cbsn.ws/4bQh0nH

@JeffBurkholde16 @CBSNews thanks for your feedback. we’re following this and reporting out what we know when we know it. i agree that there are huge gaps in this story.. we’re out to the Gila County Sheriff’s Office for more information on why she ran away and how they found her.

@CBSNews @thomasrhanson What a terrible report. So either she ran away or she liked living where she was hiding for those 32 years. All that was was a promo for technology for the police.

@hcogan @CBSNews authorities haven’t said anything yet about how she went missing - just that they identified and located her. no word yet on how or where they were able to do that because they say they want to protect her privacy but we’re following for updates!

@CBSNews @thomasrhanson So what happened to her? Why did she go missing? Where was she all these years? Got a few questions

Matt Cunningham, a passenger on the Delta Air Lines flight to Toronto that crash-landed, recounts the moment the plane flipped, caught fire and left passengers hanging upside down. He tells CBS News' @thomasrhanson that people were "relatively calm" and helping each other exit. Tune into @CBSMornings Wednesday to hear more of Cunningham's account.

Vice President Kamala Harris will accept her party's presidential nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next week. The Windy City hosted Democrats in 1968 – the year then-President Lyndon B. Johnson stepped aside and Vice President Hubert Humphrey moved to the top of the ticket. While it's easy to draw parallels between 1968 and 2024, insiders say this is no Democratic déjà vu. @thomasrhanson explains.

New research shows 40% of Americans say politics is a significant source of stress and after recent elections, more than 10% of Americans show signs of PTSD. One group hopes to calm nerves by opening up the lines of communication. @thomasrhanson explains.
