BRIDGEVILLE, Del. (WBOC/AP)- Delaware State Police say a 19-year-old man living with a Bridgeville family helped their 12-year-old daughter run away to Florida.

Jose Reyes-Castro is wanted for kidnapping and endangering a child.

On Friday, police say the girl didn't go to school and was seen with Reyes-Castro Saturday morning in Bridgeville. On Sunday, the girl called her family to say she was safe and police tracked the cell phone to a Candor, N.C. man.

The man who lent the cell phone to the girl told police Reyes-Castro was driving a Ford Explorer with Delaware plates toward Florida. They were stopped at a gas station in south Georgia near the Florida state line when the girl called her family.

Police say there is no evidence the man wants to hurt the girl.

Jose Reyes-Castro

Warrants are out for a Bridgeville teen State Police say helped a 12-year-old girl run away from home by driving her to Florida in a stolen SUV.

Police say 19-year-old Jose Reyes-Castro had been living with Nathaly Alonzo's family for 6 months, and the two headed south last weekend in a Ford Explorer Reyes-Castro stole from a friend in Laurel.

Alonzo called her family Sunday to let them know she was OK, and investigators traced the call to a cell phone she borrowed from a North Carolina man while she and Reyes-Castro were at a Georgia gas station.

The man who let Alonzo use his phone told police she and Reyes-Castro seemed content, and were headed to Florida in the Explorer, which has Delaware license number P-C-5-5-9-2-1.

Police don't think Reyes-Castro wants to harm Alonzo, but he's facing charges including kidnapping, interfering with custody and child endangerment.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the two can call Troop 5 or Crimestoppers.
