A runaway Arizona schoolgirl last seen 32 years ago is now reportedly living as a married mom-of-three who now works for a private investigator.

Christina Plante was 13 when she disappeared from her parents’ house in Star Valley, northeast of Phoenix, one Sunday afternoon in May 1994.

Now 45, the former missing teen was discovered living in Springfield, Missouri, in a five-bedroom house she shares with her husband, Shaun Hollon, 49, the Daily Mail reported.

Since her identity was revealed, Plante has given very few details about the past three decades.

She reportedly married as a teen and had three sons before earning a psychology degree and getting a job with a private investigations firm.

“She isn’t being very cooperative with us. She wouldn’t say who she met with or how she even got out of town,” Gila County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Jim Lahti told the Daily Mail.

“She did admit that she ran away. She didn’t want to be there,” he added.

Hollon said the pair married in 1998, four years after her uncle reported her missing, sparking a massive search operation.

Plante shared her runaway status with her husband before the two tied the knot, but Hollon declined to give any further details about what she had told him.

Police have long suspected the schoolgirl was abducted by her mother, Mary, who did not have legal custody of her daughter.

After years without a fresh lead, the case was blown wide open when it was revisited by a new Cold Case unit led by Captain Jamie Garrett.

Using modern technology and social media, Garrett’s team were able to track her down to her new home, where she revealed she had left of her own accord.

“I told her, ‘You know, we were under the impression that somebody kidnapped you. It was deemed a criminal offense,’” Garrett told NewsNation’s Jesse Weber Live.

“I was like, ‘Oh my gosh. Okay, so you ran away,’” he added.

A “surprised” Plante refused to give over any details that could potentially incriminate anyone who had helped her,” Chief Deputy Lahti added.

“She was very, very guarded and wanted to remain as private as possible,” he explained.

He claimed the mother and daughter met at a stable where Plante kept her horse before driving to Phoenix Airport and disappearing.

Plante’s mother was also living in Springfield, Missouri, as early as August 1995, property records seen by the Daily Mail show.

The mom later married again, but her second husband, Dan Wood, reportedly died in 2006.

In December 2024, Plante became her mother’s court-appointed guardian and conservator following a Parkinson’s Disease diagnosis.

Her mother now lives in a care home, according to court documents.
