N. Carolina teen missing over a year found alive in Gwinnett County

By Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) The FBI says a North Carolina teenager who went missing more than a year ago has been found alive in Gwinnett County, and a 31-year-old man faces charges.

FBI spokeswoman Shelley Lynch said Sunday the 17-year-old girl is reunited with her parents after being found overnight at a home in Duluth.

Agents arrested Michael Wysolovski on charges that include sex offenses, cruelty to children and false imprisonment.

The girl was 16 when she left home near Charlotte, North Carolina, in May 2016.

WBTV in Charlotte reported last year her parents found a diary detailing plans to run off with an older man she met online. Her father said the man "gradually wormed his way into her good graces.''

A neighbor told CBS46 in Atlanta that Wysolovski had just moved into the house on Seneca Trail a few months ago and kept to himself.

It's unknown if Wysolovski has a lawyer.
