FOUND ALIVE – The Community Rejoices as Missing Teen Annabelle Arther Is Located on I-5
After nearly four agonizing days of uncertainty and fear, the prayers of an entire community have been answered. 15-year-old Annabelle Arther, who had been reported missing from Stockton, California, has been found safe and alive, thanks to the sharp eyes and swift action of a compassionate truck driver traveling along Interstate 5.
Annabelle was spotted in the early morning hours of Tuesday by a driver near an on-ramp just south of Sacramento. Seeing a young girl alone along a busy freeway was enough for him to act without hesitation. He pulled over, called 911, and stayed with Annabelle until help arrived. Authorities confirmed that Annabelle appeared physically unharmed, though shaken and exhausted, and she was immediately transported to a local medical facility for evaluation.
The relief rippled across social media and news outlets as the story shifted from fear to celebration. Law enforcement, family, and volunteers had worked tirelessly for days, spreading her photo and begging for any clues. Their work — and the community’s support — paid off in a way few had dared to hope.
