A girl who went missing in Phoenix nearly 24 years ago has been found living in Connecticut.

Aleacia Stancil was born to a mother who struggled with drug use and prostitution. The mother, Toni Stancil, told a friend one night in December 1994 that she needed a few days to clear her head, and handed her baby to the friend.
