Teen Found After 263 Days | Portland Maine News

A 16-year-old girl vanished from Columbus last December and was found 263 days later in Springfield, Ohio—inside the home of her former high school science teacher, Jobe Binkley. Police had been searching since she fled a youth shelter, and neighbors had spotted social media hints pointing to Binkley’s house. Despite two prior visits where he denied her presence—even though court records show he knew she was missing—Binkley, who’d already been fired for tech policy violations and placed on leave over student interactions, now faces charges of interference with custody. Her mother remains devastated, and the community struggles to comprehend how she ended up so close to home after such a harrowing disappearance.
