"We initially found out that this began as a runaway situation, but after multiple attempts to locate the female, we did not know exactly what this situation had evolved into over three days," Attica Police Chief Garret Miller told Fox News Digital on Friday. 

He added that the case still remains under investigation by "multiple agencies and departments."

Prior to Barger being found, the Attica Police Department said they had received information from the Floyd County Sheriff’s Department that Barger was believed to be with Ross. 

Police in Attica then found Ross walking on a street Wednesday and were able to take him into custody without incident.  

"Officers gained information that the juvenile female was staying in a shed behind a residence in Attica," the Attica Police Department said. "Officers responded to that area and located the juvenile. Officers transported the juvenile female to the Attica Police Department where she was reunited with her father."

Miller told Fox News Digital that the shed where Barger was found was a "hiding location" for Ross as he determined how he was "going to basically separate from her so that he wasn’t found by law enforcement in contact with her." 

"She looked to be abandoned at that location," Miller also said, noting that Barger and Ross "had met through media contact." 

"I am glad she is back home, and the Attica Police Department needs to get a special thanks, they did a great job getting her," Barger’s father, Shawn, told Fox News Digital on Thursday. 

 

In an interview with WDRB, Shawn Barger said he noticed his daughter missing Monday morning when he went to wake her up for school and that she had left her phone behind.  

"First time that's ever happened, and the window was cracked, and I was scared to death," Barger told WDRB.
