News2Houston has confirmed that Stephany Horn, 12, was spotted by Shirley Kenjura in front of the Bank of America at Long Point Road and Wirt Road. Kenjura told police inside the bank that she thought that the young girl was Horn, whom she recognized from fliers and news stories. Police found Horn walking along Long Point Road. "I looked at her, and I looked at her again and I said, 'That's got to be the girl,'" Kenjura said. She credits the Laura Recovery Center Foundation for circulating posters with Horn's face on them and getting out a videotape to the media for the community to see. "What struck me was her appearance and what she had on," Kenjura said. "They described it perfectly." Undercover police officers who also recognized Horn said that she was found because media outlets showed her picture. "Just ask everybody," one undercover police officer said. "Every time they see something like this, they take it seriously. It could have been anybody that found her. I'm glad it was us." She was taken to the juvenile division of the Houston Police Department, where she was reunited with family and friends. Horn went home Tuesday night. "I'm glad," Horn's sister-in-law, Norma Horn, said. "I'm excited. I'm glad she's OK. "I don't know where she's been. I know she's been with someone because she's in different clothes and she has hickies on her neck." Police are investigating indications that she was sexually assaulted. Horn said that the details about sister-in-law's disappearance are sketchy, but they do have limited information. "As far as I know, she just got in the car and went wherever the people in car went," Horn said. "She said that she found some people to hang out with." Horn said that she doesn't know who Stephany was with and if they were adults or teenagers. Police are investigating her disappearance and if charges will be filed. The girl moved to Houston from Fort Worth two months ago and moved in with her brother and sister-in-law. Her parents sent the girl to Houston because they are involved in a divorce. "She had a hard life and she needs to know that somebody loves her no matter what," Horn said. "That is what I am here for." Horn was reported missing at about 7 p.m. Friday near the intersection of Bunker Hill Road and Pine Lake Drive in northwest Houston. Horn's family members said that she disappeared while walking with a relative. After four days of searching, family members quietly admitted that they were losing hope until they got the phone call Tuesday afternoon. Officials have said that there is no outward sign of stress or trauma, and she appears to have made it through the ordeal intact. Search Efforts Helped Dozens of volunteers offered their help to the Horn family and the Laura Recovery Center Foundation. They gathered every morning over the past four days to search for Horn, and they admit that they are all relieved after hearing that she was found alive. "This is the third search we've been on, one right after the other, and this is the first one that we've had since then that the little girl was found alive and well," Bob Walcutt of the Laura Recovery Center Foundation said. A police helicopter joined family members, search dogs and volunteers from the Laura Recovery Center Foundation Tuesday to look for Horn. The family asked for more help to recruit volunteers and to launch a massive flier distribution campaign. Texas Equusearch owner Tim Miller pulled out of the search for Horn Monday after discovering that he was $5,000 in debt. Miller said that he used his own horses and other resources to aid in searches for missing children and adults, including three recent high-profile missing persons cases. "I definitely know the pain the families are going through," Miller said. His 16-year-old daughter Laura disappeared 14 years ago. Her body was later found in a field. "I can't afford it anymore. I have got to start doing some Tim Miller work," Miller said. "It is hard for me to be on my job knowing that I can't be up there helping, but I have to be at work right now." Volunteers make up the core of searchers, and many say that they are happy to do it despite the sacrifices. "It's sometimes hard because you are going out and leaving your family," Randy Faulkner said. "You feel like you should be at home, but I know that if I ever needed it, I hope that somebody would be out searching for me, too."
