Police said the Gary teenager went missing early Monday, shortly after she went to a neighbor's home to report her mother was the victim of a crime. Police later issued the alert, saying she could be in "extreme danger." She was found the next day.
The Lake County coroner's office says the 34-year-old mother was stabbed to death. The Associated Press isn't naming the woman to avoid identifying her daughter.
Lake County Prosecutor Bernard Cater said the teen is being held as a juvenile defendant. He says his office has filed a petition seeking to move the case into adult court. A hearing is April 15.
