Megan Durr, missing TX teen found may have ben held against her will

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas -- Fifteen-year-old Megan Danielle Durr was found Monday, three months after she was reported a runaway, and now her family says though she initially left of her own will she may have been held against her will when she wanted to go home.

News reports indicate Megan ran away on Dec. 23, 2010, after meeting people through social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook.

Aransas Pass Police initially said it didn't appear she was held against her will and that it appeared this was a runaway situation.

Now her family says she wanted to come home sooner, initially feared she'd get in trouble, but later was not allowed to.  

Barber told KRISTV.com it was his understanding Monday evening that two men had been arrested Monday in connection to her disappearance, but he doesn't know their names. Calls to police were not returned, KRISTV.com said.

Barber says he plans to pursue all charges possible against the people she was staying with.

Megan was found Monday at the mobile home of a man in his early 30s living on Avenue A in Aransas Pass. 

Finding Megan was a result of her family, friends, and volunteers actively looking for her for the past three months. As time passed fears grew that something terrible had happened to Megan.

When he was reunited with his stepdaughter Monday after she'd been missing for 3 months, Terri Barber told KRISTV.com that he couldn't let go.
