Sarah Lofthouse, the 15-year-old Alhambra girl who vanished last week, prompting her parents’ fears that she might have been lured away by a witchcraft cult, has turned up safe in Dayton, Ohio, police said Wednesday.
Alhambra Police Lt. David Nater said friends in Ohio persuaded the girl to call police here Tuesday night. Nater said the girl was in the custody of juvenile authorities in Ohio and was expected to return home soon.
The girl disappeared after withdrawing $200 from an ATM at a Pasadena supermarket. Her family said that in the past few months she had retreated into the world of the Internet, often accessing Web sites devoted to witchcraft.
