Picture: US Missing Person Directory Source: Supplied A HIGH school student who disappeared in 2004 from the US has been found nearly 10 years later living in Mexico with three children. Connie McCallister, a 16-year-old honour-roll student at Athens High School in Wisconsin , was thought to have vanished with her boyfriend on August 15, 2004. Her family have searched for ever since and America's National Center for Missing & Exploited Children displayed her name and picture until three months ago. Now a Lutheran Church missionary has found her. She has now told police that she was drugged by her then boyfriend, then aged 22, and taken to Mexico against her will and physically abused, at one point having to be treated in hospital. Wausau Police Captain Greg Hagenbucher told WAOW that McCallister's relationship with her boyfriend ended, and she eventually married the father of her three children, now aged 3, 5, and 7. Connie has been able to speak to her family back in the US. We Skyped and I cried for an hour. I literally cried. I saw her and it was her. I thank God every day," said Connie's aunt, Florence Volzka. "Everyone was really hurting and missing her and not knowing where she was, not knowing if she was still here or died," said Ms Volzka. She just wants to come home. And she didn't know how to get home. Hagenbucher told the Wausau Daily Herald that police confirmed her identity through Skype, adding that Connie still looks similar to the bespectacled girl looking out from the Missing Children posters, only older and with longer hair. Admitted to hospital after one of many beatings she received, McCallister adopted a new identity and then met and married the man who went on to become the father of her children. Volzka said Connie wanted to return to the US but cannot afford to buy herself and her three children the airfares. The Trinity Lutheran Church is currently working to raise funds to get McCallister back to Wisconsin. US Consulate officials are working to get passports and other necessary documents to get Connie home. "She knows it's going to be a whole new world again, and she's afraid," Volzka said. Her boyfriend from nine years ago is wanted on charges of first-degree sexual assault on an unrelated victim, police said.
