Police are still trying to sort out why a 15-year-old Plymouth Township boy took off with an employee of his parents and went missing for days before returning home Thursday.
"We're trying to figure out where they went and what they did," Plymouth Township Police Chief Thomas Tiderington said Thursday.
Plymouth Township Detective Sgt. Steve Rapson said Justin Lee Wainwright, 15, and Joshua Kyle Zohr, 18, of Northville returned home at 10:15 a.m.
Both appeared to be in good condition with no injuries.
Justin was last seen by his family members on Sunday night and his disappearance with Zohr triggered a multistate Amber Alert.
Tiderington said Justin was not coerced into going away with Zohr.
"It does not appear that way at this point," he said.
He said what they've learned so far is, "that they needed a break -- beyond that we don't have more information," Tiderington said.
Neither family could be reached for comment.
Tiderington said he couldn't say what charges, if any, might be filed.
"We'll probably have more tomorrow." Tiderington said.
