California Teen Presumed Dead Returns Home To Family



Chioma Gray went missing from her family at the age of 15 and has recently been reunited with her family, now 4 years later at the age of 19. Gray went missing from her family the day after her boyfriend who was 20 when she was 15, was released from jail. The story gets interesting because her then 20 year old boyfriend had been locked up for unlawful sex with a minor, which was with her.

Gray’s boyfriend, Andrew Tafoya, had been locked up for seven months. Immediately afterwards, he stole a car and got Gray and went over the border to Mexico. Surveillance cameras saw the two cross the border so Gray’s family obviously searched for her all through Mexico. At one point, a charred body was found and police told her family that it was probably her body. However, her family didn’t take this as an acceptable answer. From there, the family hired a private investigator.

Through the private investigator’s, Chuck Hookstra, work they discovered that Gray and Tafoya were working at a tourist spot. At the tourist spot Gray was working as a waitress and Tafoya as a snorkeling instructor. Gray’s mother, Francine Black, then filed a civil suit against Tafoya and his family for charges including  “custodial interference, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and aiding and abetting in the interference of custodial relations.”

Eventually Andrew Tafoya turned himself in to the U.S. Marshalls. As of today, there have been no charges filed. I personally love stories like this that represent hope and faith. What are your thoughts on this story? Can you believe that a girl who was missing for 4 years turned up to her family?

    It’s sad that the family had to go through this because she chose to abandon them for some man…it’s a blessing though that no harm has came to her and she is alive…best ending possible. She really has some explaining to do though…I’m sure she has no idea the pain and stress she has brought on her family…hopefully everything can be settled and the family can come together and make it work.
