Sandy Sanchez has returned home, after she went missing on August 31
On Thursday, August 31, the family of a 12-year-old girl, Sandy Sanchez, were flung into a nightmare after she failed to come back home. It was later reported that Sanchez had left home at about 6 pm local time on Thursday, wearing a pair of blue jeans, a red T-shirt, and a pair of white shoes.
However, the 12-year-old girl failed to return to her house at South Norcross Tucker Road. When her family tried to reach her, they realized that she was not carrying her phone. This made them worry about Sandy, who was then reported to be missing. Sandy Sanchez's last known location was found to be Oakbrook Parkway, but the family had no clue about her whereabouts.
Law enforcement officers confirmed that she had returned home on September 4. However, it has not been revealed as to where she was or what she was doing near Oakbrook Parkway, which was her last known location. Additional details regarding the case have not been revealed yet.
More about Sandy's disappearance that shook her community

Sanchez was described as a young girl with brown eyes and long brown hair.
Law enforcement officials urged the public to reach out to them if they had any information regarding Sanchez when she was missing.
