Missing Glendale Teen Reunited With Family

GLENDALE, WI — "Broad community effort" was the main factor in reuniting 16-year-old Teenasia Scobey-Polacheck with her family. She had been missing since July 1.

She left after a fight with her adoptive parents. Her biological mother, who lives in Milwaukee, was notified.

She was considered endangered. There were multiple unconfirmed sightings around the city in the time she's been missing. According to the family, "contacts made through community outreach" are to thank for her going home.

"We are so very grateful to have Teenasia safe at home with her family. She is healthy and happy to be here and we are so happy to have her with us," Teenasia's parents, Annemarie and Bill Scobey-Polacheck, said in a statement.

See the Scobey-Polacheck family's statement:

We are so very grateful to have Teenasia safe at home with her family. She is healthy and happy to be here and we are so happy to have her with us.

We want to thank the entire community who helped bring our daughter home, including the Glendale and Milwaukee Police Departments, community activist Tory Lowe, Safe & Sound, our family, friends and neighbors, and the many volunteers who helped make this joyful reunion possible.

Teenasia was reunited with her family late Friday night as a result of contacts made through community outreach.
