It’s one of those stories people talk about long after it’s over. Not because it’s tragic. Precisely the opposite. But it is the kind of story that usually does not end well.
A 13-year-old girl, possibly lured by an older man, was missing from school. The details of how this story came to a happy conclusion sound like an episode of Forensic Files.
Even more remarkable, we get to see the whole thing unfold thanks to the body camera Volusia County Deputy Royce James was wearing.
It shows the moment James saved the scared teen from almost certain doom. It’s the kind of story that could have ended with the teen’s family either planning a funeral or launching a search party and praying for her to come home.
