Missing Va. teen, baby return home

WASHINGTON — A Fairfax, Virginia teen mom and her 5-month-old son, who had been missing for nearly a month, returned home Saturday night, police said.

The mother, 16-year-old Lizzy Rivera Colindres, and baby Aidan are said to be in good health.

Fairfax County police said they will continue to work with the family and provide assistance as needed.
