Jakadrien Turner's lies last year to authorities in Texas - including adopting an alter ago and claiming she was from Colombia - set off a harrowing journey that, according to posts on a Facebook page featuring photographs of her, she seemed to later regret.
By Friday, the troubled teenager was finally back in the United States, after being arrested and then deported to a country that she'd never been in before. It was a months-long escapade that has her family asking questions about how she got to the South American nation and what happened to her while there.
