An Ohio teenager reported missing for 263 days is found alive at the home of a former school teacher near her family, according to reporting by multiple outlets. The teen’s family says the person she was found with allegedly groomed her and took advantage of her while she was missing.
The outlets identify the former teacher as Jobe Binkley, 48, a science teacher who previously worked for the Springfield City School District. He is arrested, with one report stating authorities charge him with interference with custody, classified as a first-degree misdemeanor. Other coverage focuses on the lengthy duration the teenager was missing and the circumstances surrounding where she was located.
Both reports describe the discovery of the teenager at Binkley’s residence close to home and the arrest that follows. They differ mainly in emphasis, with one outlet highlighting the family’s characterization of the alleged conduct and the other emphasizing public outrage and the specific arrest charge.
