EVERETT, Wash. —
She told her story Thursday only to KIRO 7 Eyewitness News.
Teen Missing For Days Speaks Out
Sleepy and worn-out, 15-year-old Nayheli Barrera spoke about her sudden disappearance that nearly led Bellevue police to issue an Amber alert.
"I'm fine. I am ok," she told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News Reporter Kyle Moore.
Barrera disappeared Monday night from a library in the Crossroads area of Bellevue. She was with her sister when they were approached by a friend of Nayheli's boyfriend.
Barrera told her sister she was going to call police, and that was the last time she was seen.
Barrera said her boyfriend, 19-year-old Ricardo Guzman-Gil, picked her up and drove her to Everett.
"It was my own free will. I left because I wanted to," she said.
Everett police spotted Barrera walking down the street Wednesday night and brought her home.
Guzman-Gil was arrested two hours later and booked into jail.
Barrera said she didn't realize so many people were looking for her.
"I have no clue until I got home last night. The detective told me I was on the news," she said.
As for her boyfriend, she said he hit her before she disappeared, leaving the mark under her left eye.
