A Marine was detained last month after a missing 14-year-old girl was found in the barracks of a California base camp, authorities said.
Military police at Camp Pendleton — a Marine Corps base in Oceanside, California — found the teen on June 28, just over two weeks after her grandmother reported her missing to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, according to Melissa Aquino, a media relations officer with the sheriff’s department.
