A 15-year-old girl from Hedensted, Denmark, has been reunited with her family after being found in eastern Hungary. The teenager had disappeared from her home on a Tuesday, triggering an international search involving Danish police, Hungarian police, and Europol.

She was located unharmed in the Hajdú-Bihar province. While Hungarian authorities stated they do not believe a crime was committed against her, Danish police are investigating potential criminal activity related to her disappearance and have confirmed that suspects exist.

A 22-year-old Hungarian man has been arrested in absentia. He claims the two were in a relationship that began on the gaming platform Roblox approximately 18 months ago. He stated he drove his mother's car to Denmark to meet her, under the impression that she was 18 years old.
