A missing 13-year-old from the Pittsburgh area was finally found to the relief of her worried parents. Their joy quickly disappeared, however, as officers informed them she was currently being held in an adult jail in Pennsylvania after lying to the police about her age following a shoplifting arrest.
Tabitha Clark, whose trace was lost on June 21, 2024, spent almost two months away from her parents before being incarcerated at Beaver County Jail, surrounded by adults.
Nate Bible, a district attorney, was informed of her resemblance with a missing teenager, prompting him to investigate. Upon confirming his suspicions, he informed the parents, who were able to retrieve her from jail.
