Alicia Navarro, 18, who turned up at the police station after missing for four years, has moved to the Montana reservation with a boyfriend twice her age, plagued by drug and sex crimes

Teen runaway Alicia Navarro has sparked concern after moving to a Native American reservation overrun by meth and sex crimes.

Navarro, 18, lives with boyfriend Eddie Davis — who is twice her age — on the Fort Belknap reservation in Montana, two weeks after ending a four-year search for her when she walked into a police station out of the blue.

But after deciding to live in Davis’s mother’s trailer, the couple find themselves on a 3,500-person reservation filled with lawlessness.

“We have a lot of incidents of substance abuse, drug abuse, alcohol abuse[and a]lot of intergenerational trauma with abuse in general,” tribe member Connie Filesteel told the New York Post.

The reservation has seen a string of arrests for violence, drug and sex crimes in recent years, and the public register of sex offenders shows nine sex offenders currently living on the plot.

Home to the Assiniboine and Gros Ventre tribes, the reservation is located 40 miles south of the Canadian border near the Missouri River.

Crimes that will take place in the territory include two residents who were sentenced to 22 years in prison in 2019 for sexually assaulting a girl under the age of 12.

A man was sentenced to six years in February 2022 for gunning down a house on the reservation, and that same year another Montana resident received a six-year sentence for smuggling meth on the lot.

Despite the trouble, the arrival of Navarro and her much older boyfriend is horrified by the locals.

“Just because he’s here doesn’t mean we want him here,” tribe member Cheryl Horn told The Post.

“His family supports him, but the rest of the community doesn’t want this.”

Those on the reservation are reportedly trying to drive Davis off the property.

Another tribesman, Jr. Healy, 55, added that a group that is part of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) movement has been trying to contact Navarro about her situation.

“Me and some of the MMIW folks, we wanted to try and get her away from him,” he said.

“We have our own domestic violence, we have our own murders, we have our own MMIWs, we have plenty of unsolved things here,” Horn added.

Montana police have said that, as an adult, Navarro cannot be forced to return to her mother, and on Monday night, Navarro was seen cleaning up the apartment where she lived.

Navarro stunned authorities on July 23 when she walked into a police station in Havre, Montana, saying she no longer wanted to be reported missing because she wanted a driver’s license.

Since leaving her home in Glendale, Arizona on Sept. 15, 2019, her devastated mother Jessica Nunez has been leading the public search for the teen, who has high-functioning autism.

While Nunez feared her daughter had run away or been kidnapped by someone she met online, it’s unclear exactly where she has been for the past four years.

She left while her parents slept, sparking a massive multi-agency search, including the FBI. Police spokesman Jose Santiago said police had received thousands of tips over the years.

After hearing the news that an 18-year-old self-identified as the missing teen more than 1,000 miles from where she went missing, Glendale police said they immediately contacted the Montana police to talk to her.

Officers said they were able to verify Navarro’s identity and that she was extremely cooperative with authorities.

Santiago added that by all accounts, she seems to be in a good mood “and really just wants to get on with her life.”

“She apologizes deeply for what she did to her mother. And she understands that she hurt her mother a lot, and it wasn’t intentional on her behalf, and she hopes they can have a relationship.”

The youthful-looking 18-year-old told police in Montana that “nobody hurt me,” and while Davis is believed to have lived with Navarro for part of the time she was missing, he has not been charged with any wrongdoing on her part. disappearance.

After announcing her arrival, the FBI raided Navarro’s building the same day, and neighbors described how a “very young”-looking Navarro was upset during the raid.

Her disappearance garnered a lot of attention from the true crime community, but Navarro’s mother has urged internet sleuths to back off after Alicia’s discovery, as their investigation put their “safety at risk.”

After she was found, Nunez said her daughter’s return is proof that “miracles exist,” while urging relatives of other missing people not to give up hope.

In an emotional Facebook video, Jessica Nuñez begged the public to “move on,” even as questions remain about her daughter’s disappearance.

The distraught mother warned in the video how the “search for answers has taken a turn for the dangerous,” claiming she and her family have been targeted since her daughter’s return.

“I’ve been harassed, my family has been attacked all over the internet — the public has stopped trying to help Alicia, instead doing things like trying to come to her house and endangering her safety,” Nuñez claimed.

So I beg you, please no more TikToks, no more contacting Alicia or me with your speculations or questions or assumptions. This is not a movie, this is our life, this is my daughter.’
