Johor girl, 14, reported missing in 2019, found married with kid 7 years later in Langkawi
A woman who was reported missing in 2019 has been found in Langkawi seven years later, where she is now married with a child, after admitting that she had left her family home in Johor Bahru.
According to Malaysian news outlet New Straits Times, the woman was found at a house in Taman Helang Perdana, Kuah, a town in Langkawi, on June 17.
Langkawi deputy police chief Samsulmuddin Sulaiman said officers inspected the house at about 11pm that day after receiving a tip-off from the public. They later found a 21-year-old woman living in the house with a child.
At the time, the woman was listed as a missing person following a police report lodged in Majidee, Johor, in 2019.
Langkawi is located over 700km north of Johor Bahru.
“The woman admitted to leaving her family home in Johor Baru before settling in Langkawi. She also claimed to have married a foreigner, but her husband was not at home during the inspection,” Sulaiman said in a statement on June 18.
He added that the woman’s family have been informed of her discovery.
