According to officials, Amun had been missing since Feb. 1, 2024, after she was caught on doorbell video running out the front door of her residence on Westoak Court in Buford. She did not take any personal items with her.

The day before her disappearance, Asata was disciplined by school administrators, which detectives believe may have contributed to her sudden departure.

Asata's family said they were deeply concerned over her disappearance and said that she did not say anything about running away before she vanished

For months, investigators have been working to find the teen, sending out requests for information in the hopes someone would be able to locate her and get her back safely.

According to investigators, Amun had been using an alias after she was taken into their custody. A breakthrough happened when a case manager noticed inconsistencies in her story that led officials to look into missing children in Georgia.

What's next:
Officials are now working to transfer Amun into the custody of the Georgia Department of Family & Children Services.

Weird how there was little mention on why she left & nothing on how she got back into custody. She’s not being returned to her parents either? Imma guess her home life was terrible.

Missing children should be a top priority.

It's actually one of the better outcomes that she was found alive.

I need more background on the story before I make a comment.

Thank goodness she's alive and well.

She must have escaped a really tough home life.
