\"Paiglynn<\/a>LIBERTY CITY — For the first time in more than seven months, the family of Paiglynn Raymond was reunited — just in time to celebrate Thanksgiving together. According to KETK and the Longview News-Journal, the 16-year-old’s father, Chris Raymond, said the family has to “build a bridge from seven months ago to now.” Raymond continued, “It will take time and continued prayers, but every step is worth it. A lot took place so fast the last couple of days that brought tears to my eyes, but to hear my daughter say, ‘I love you’ to me face-to-face was more than amazing.”<\/p>\n

Vickie Raymond, Paiglynn’s grandmother, said earlier this week that a friend of the teen told her mother that someone claiming to be Paiglynn had started texting her from an untraceable number. Paiglynn’s mother, Michelle Raymond, and Save the Next Girl representative Kenny Jarels contacted the number, and the teen responded. “Of course, Michelle was very skeptical, so she asked a few questions that only Paiglynn would know the answers to,” she said. “Chris was texting her as well, and on Wednesday they talked over the phone.” The parents made arrangements to meet Thursday in Grayson County, about an hour north of Dallas, and Paiglynn was home in time for Thanksgiving supper.<\/p>\n

Paiglynn last was seen April 17 after being dropped off at school in Liberty City. Investigators with the Gregg County Sheriff’s Office said she left the campus, was picked up by a truck driver and was dropped off at a bus station near Dallas. A lead the family received in October about Paiglynn being admitted to a Tulsa hospital turned out to be false.<\/p>\n

On June 1, a person matching her description was spotted near Leadville, Colorado, a town about 100 miles west of Denver. Colorado state police confirmed multiple sightings of the girl matching Paiglynn’s description between Leadville and Copper Mountain, prompting a statewide alert by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
