Christian Roe and Olivia Kean found after three weeks in Florida. The two teenagers, who vanished from Bay County, Michigan on October 15th, have been found in Jacksonville, Florida.

Christian’s dad, Jay Roe, his mother, Kari Roe-LaFramboise, and his stepfather, Joe LaFramboise, all drove to Florida, hoping to pick their child and search for Olivia.
Mrs Roe-LaFramboise told local media prior to the trip:
“He said he was safe, that he’d hurt his ankle, and that he was no longer with Olivia.He borrowed some lady’s phone on the road so he could call and say he wanted to come home.”
She went on to add:
“I just have a huge relief, of just knowing he’s alive and OK, and that he wants to come home.I’m nervous for what will happen when we get him back.”
Olivia Kean’s mother, Katrina Kean, made a very public plea to her daughter, begging the child to come home after 27 long days. Kean said:
“Some times, things seem worse than the they really are. Even less will happen if she decides on her own to come home. The whole town will celebrate your coming home safely and we all will finally breathe a sigh of relief.”
Kean also explained that her daughter has a serious medical condition that requires attention. The four parents searched the area where Roe was found, and Joe LaFramboise eventually spotted Kean walking on the streets.
Christian Roe has been released to his parents, while Olivia Kean, who is on probation and had cut off her ankle monitor, has been taken into police custody, where she remains.
Roe-LaFramboise said that Christian, Olivia, and her pet chihuahua, Salasa, were living out of their truck in Florida for about three weeks. Police are investigating the matter.
