A 13-year-old girl who went missing from her home in Texas this month was found alive by police in Long Beach, California. A good Samaritan had seen her inside a vehicle with a sign that read, “Help me,” and subsequently called authorities, leading to her rescue.

According to court documents, the teen had run away from home, and on July 6 was walking down a street in San Antonio when a grey Nissan car pulled up beside her. The driver, a man in his 60s, then allegedly drew a gun and told her, “If you don’t get in the car with me, I am going to hurt you.”
