Hartford, Conn.
An attorney for one of three people accused in the disappearance of a 15-year-old girl said they were harboring her from abuse and allowed her to freely come and go from the house where police found her. Police and the girl's parents said that wasn't the case.The girl, who vanished a year ago and was found by police Wednesday hidden in a closet-like room in the home of Adam Gault, 41, had assumed a new identity that made her part of Gault's family, authorities said.
Michael Georgetti, an attorney for Kimberly Cray, one of those charged in the girl's disappearance, said the girl had a cell phone and was allowed to attend school and come and go from the house freely.
The girl's mother said in a cable news interview that her daughter denied being allowed to have a phone or attend school under her own name.
