MAYLONA FRANCO - 16 yo - El Cajon (E of San Diego) CA

El Cajon CA ---- The search is on Friday for a
missing teen from El Cajon. It's been nearly a week since anyone's
seen 16-year-old Maylona Franco. She snuck out of her father's house to go to a party and never came
home.


Maylona's friends and family are worried. They've been searching the
streets of El Cajon, asking for the public's help finding her.
Maylona's mom says her daughter would never be gone from home this
long.

The family of Maylona Franco announced on Facebook that she has
returned home. No details have been given about her disappearance or
her return.
Brandy Todaro-Plaisted wrote on the "Bring Maylona
Home" Facebook page, "I would like to thank all the people who helped us
search, pray, and get the word out for our girl. She is home safe. We
have no details at this time but the family does want you to know to
know that we really are thankful for all of our family friends and
community. With out you and your support we may not have been this
blessed."
There is no word on Maylona's cousin Sipriana Fierro.

An East County girl's family that sought media
attention to locate a teenager last seen two weeks ago, announced
through a Facebook message that the girl has returned home.
Sixteen-year-old Maylona Franco was last heard from April 30, according to her family, when she
called her father and said she would be home in a couple of hours.
"She has never done anything like this," Kristie Franco said Monday. "She always calls. It's hard not to think of the worst."
Around 5:30 p.m. Monday evening, a post was added to the
group’s Facebook page, “Maylona is home, Thank you everyone for
everything. We have no details and we ask that you respect Maylona and
her families [sic] privacy. As far as we know Sipriana is still not
found that we have been told. Updates will follow with that information as it comes.”
The same woman who posted that news spent the evening
monitoring posts from friends of the group wanting – and sometimes
demanding – to know where the teenager had been while her family,
friends and strangers searched for her.
Etney Pennock posted this message to those asking for more details, “Anyone who makes unwanted or
disrespectful comments regarding Maylona or her family will be reported,
deleted, and blocked. Please be respectful of the family and thier
[sic] need to heal. It is no one's business "what happened", it
shouldn't even be a thought in anyone's head aside from THANK GOD SHE IS HOME.”
According to the same Facebook group, the girl told her father she was at a party in Escondido
when she last called him. The Facebook page also said the teen's cousin
Sipriana Fierro, who is also missing, was with her on the night of April 30.
Family members and friends posted fliers on cars in the neighborhood, as well as on street
signs and the front doors of Chaparral High School, in El Cajon, which Maylona attends.
A school official said Monday, however, that at least one of Maylona's friends had spoken with
her on the phone since her disappearance.
