A teenaged runaway from Missouri is back home after she showed up in a Putnam County neighborhood peddling magazines door-to-door.

Marlyse Skinner, 18, of Kansas City, who absconded from a secure residential facility in that city back in January, was returned to the custody of Missouri officials after a deputy sheriff found her knocking on doors along Weatherhill Road in Southeast.

A resident of that area had called the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office and reported that two suspicious females were walking from house to house and knocking on doors. A deputy investigated and found two females, Skinner and another teenage girl, walking down a private driveway.

They told the deputy they were selling magazine subscriptions for a Missouri-based company, however, neither could show him a peddling permit.

The deputy ran a computer check and received a hit from the national Crime Information Center revealing Skinner was wanted on a warrant from the Jackson County Family Court in Kansas City.
