Alicia Navarro and roommate Eddy Davis flee Montana apartment

HAVRE, Mont. — Recently re-emerged teen Alicia Navarro and the former Walmart worker she’s been shacking up with fled the Montana apartment where they were staying Monday night, The Post has learned.

Navarro, 18, and the bearded, husky man — identified by several local sources as 36-year-old Eddy Davis — cleared out their Havre apartment and left with the help of his family, neighbor Garrett Smith told The Post Tuesday.

There was nothing to suggest Davis, who is twice her age, had any part in Navarro’s 2019 disappearance from Arizona aged 14 — which was resolved when she miraculously walked into Havre police station in on July 23 and asked to be taken off the missing persons list.

Locals said authorities raided the apartment where Navarro has been staying last Wednesday and police later confirmed the male occupant was detained and questioned. However, no arrest has been made in connection with her disappearance and Davis is not believed to be under police suspicion.

The pair fled the apartment in a dark-colored Mitsubishi Eclipse around 8 p.m. local time Monday, as loved ones were seen loading boxes into a 2000s Chevrolet Suburban, Smith said.

Navarro opened the car door herself and got inside on her own, Smith said. The 22-year-old neighbor said he notified the local police.

“Her demeanor didn’t look any different from the last time I saw her,” Smith said. “Just quiet, shy … Didn’t say a word, didn’t look down or look up. Just looked straight.”

Smith added she and Davis were not holding hands. They appeared to leave behind even their own mail as they fled.

Davis’ relatives had been packing the Suburban with furniture, boxes and other household items over the past two days, he said.

A woman at the pair’s apartment said earlier Monday they were “not talking to reporters” before asking The Post to leave.

Alicia Navarro’s mysterious reappearance: What we know so far

Who is Alicia Navarro?

Alicia Navarro is a previously missing 18-year-old from Arizona who unexpectedly turned up in a Montana police station nearly four years after her disappearance.

When did she disappear?

In 2019, the girl left her family’s Glendale, Arizona, home in the middle of the night just a few days before her 15th birthday. Her parents found a handwritten note from Navarro saying: “I ran away. I will be back. I swear. I’m sorry.”

Where was she found?

Navarro walked into a police station in a tiny Montana town about 40 miles from the Canadian border — and some 1,000 miles from home — and identified herself as the missing girl from Arizona.

Is she facing any charges?

Authorities in Navarro’s hometown of Glendale, Arizona, said the teen is not facing any criminal charges and is not in any kind of legal trouble.

Why did she leave?

Alicia Navarro was just shy of her 15th birthday when she vanished.

Alicia’s mother, Jessica Nuñez, previously raised concerns that Navarro, who was diagnosed as high-functioning on the autism spectrum, may have been lured away by someone she met online.

Since coming forward Alicia has spoken to her mother, who mounted a huge nationwide search for her over the last four years in an effort to find her, over video call. However, police have made it clear since she Navarro is an adult, it is her choice whether to return back to her mother, Jessica Nuñez, in Arizona.

Davis worked the night shift at a local Walmart store before he was let go several months ago, a former coworker told The Post. The colleague asked to be anonymous out of fear they’d lose their job.

The coworker said they had seen Davis driving with a woman who appeared to be Navarro.

“I could see it was a younger female with dark hair,” the worker said. “She didn’t look scared or anything. She looked comfortable in the car.”

What happened to Navarro over the last four years and how she ended up in Havre — 1,300 miles away from Glendale, Arizona where she disappeared — remains unclear.

The circumstances of Navarro’s disappearance are the subject of an ongoing investigation involving the US Marshals, FBI and police forces from both states.

When Navarro handed herself over to police she said it was because she wanted to be taken off the missing persons list so she could get a driver’s license.

As a legal adult, she now has the freedom to come and go as she pleases, a Glendale police spokesperson previously said.

“Alicia is an adult, so it will be her decision as to whether or not she remains in Montana, returns to Arizona, or goes elsewhere, regardless of the investigation,” spokesperson Gina Winn wrote in an email to The Post.

Navarro “willfully left her home” in September 2019, just days before her 15th birthday, authorities said. Nuñez said her daughter left with her phone and laptop, and disappeared over the garden fence. She has previously said she thought she had been lured from the home by someone online.

When she fled her family’s Glendale home she left behind a note which read: “I ran away. I will be back. I swear. I’m sorry,” according to KTAR News.

A missing person report from years prior described Navarro as autistic but high-functioning.
