Missing Michigan Teen Found Engaged to Man

Penelope 'Penny' Wise, a 17-year-old girl who vanished from her Cedar Springs, Michigan home on May 31, has been found safe after nearly two months. She was discovered living with a 44-year-old man, whom she met on June 1, the night after her disappearance. Initial investigations suggest Penny left home willingly after a disagreement with her parents and had been living with the man since their meeting. Despite extensive searches by multiple law enforcement agencies, it wasn't until a community member recognized her that she was located. Police confirmed that the two are engaged, but details surrounding their relationship remain unclear. The Kent County Prosecutor's Office has opted not to pursue charges against the man, as the age of consent in Michigan is 16, raising concerns about the circumstances but highlighting the legal context.
