An Evans teenager who was missing since Halloween has been safely returned to her family, the Gazette has learned.

Sheala Edwards was last seen on Halloween night when she was trick or
treating with her friends. Several witnesses said they saw her get into
a black vehicle with a bag that appeared to contain clothes.
According to Evans Police Chief Rick Brandt, prior to the incident
Edwards had told friends she was planning to run away with her
boyfriend. “That night she told her friend she was going to run away
with her boyfriend. We had someone say they saw her with a small
container with what seemed to be clothes in it that evening.” Brandt
said, “We have no evidence that says otherwise.”
The Evans Police Department assigned two detectives to the case and
interviewed John Martinez, Sheala’s boyfriend, and his family. The
police also interviewed several students at Sheala's school.

A relative received a phone call Thursday evening from a girl who
claimed to be Sheala, saying she was all right. However, the reception
on the call was somewhat muffled and the relative could not be sure it
was Sheala's voice on the phone.

Chery Mayeda, a friend of the family affectionately known as “Aunt”
Chery, contacted the Gazette and said Sheala had returned home after the
FBI had gotten involved in the case.

Mayeda said the FBI had discovered Sheala was staying in a camper in the Martinez’s backyard.

During the course of the investigation members of the family,
including Sheala's parents, Jason and Brenda Edwards, were frustrated
with a perceived lack of action by the Evans Police.

Brandt said he understood the family’s frustration, but all signs
pointed to Sheala's being a runaway and all leads the police had at the
time had been exhausted.
