A Wisconsin woman who went missing more than nine years ago has been found living in Mexico with her three children.

Connie McCallister, 26, was found after a church missionary in Mexico reported seeing her to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children three months ago, according to the Wausau Daily Herald.

"We have confirmed, through conversations on Skype, that this is really Connie, and she did ask for help in getting home," Wausau Police Capt. Greg Hagenbucher told the newspaper. "But she won't come back without her children."

McCallister, who vanished in August 2004 at age 16, said she was drugged and taken to Mexico against her will by her then-boyfriend, her aunt Florence Volzka told the Associated Press.
