A 15-year-old member of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians is back home after going missing for a week.

Marissa Liggett was last seen on August 24, when she headed off to school. She's now back home but authorities haven't been able to determine what happened because her mother won't let her talk to police.

Tribal members had prayed for her return at a vigil on Saturday.
