Missing 15 year old girl Marie Robertson heads to Michigan
Friends deny an elopement and say Marie Robertson left a hostile foster home last week to live with her grandmother in Michigan. Adopted seven years ago by Mr and Mrs Donald Robertson after her mother died, she grew unhappy at being treated more like a servant. Her friends say a transportation draft was sent to cover her move and that she is now with relatives in Michigan, happier and reconciled with her grandmother.
