Two Maricopa teenagers who ran away together over the weekend may have briefly inhabited an empty residence in the 44000 block of West McCord Drive in The Villages in the Rancho El Dorado neighborhood.

One of the teens, Cheyenne Reinbold, 15, was found Monday afternoon. The other teen, Robert “Bobby” Ybarra, 16, was found at his home Monday evening.

Rachel Travis, Ybarra's mother, said a cleaning lady who worked at the house next to her residence found two blankets, two shoes and a nebulizer belonging to her son. Travis said the residence next door is rented out by the owner and no one currently was living there.

A nebulizer is a device that administers medication. It is commonly used by people with respiratory diseases. Travis said her son has asthma.

Travis added that one of the windows in the residence next door was broken.

Maricopa Police spokesman Ricky Alvarado said Reinbold was found in the 44000 block of West McCord Drive on Monday afternoon and that she would be questioned by police about a “burglary” reported in the same area Monday morning.

Alvarado said police found evidence during the burglary investigation that could be tied to one of the missing teens. He would not provide more details.

Reinbold’s mother, Misty Robbins, said she last saw her daughter in the family's Desert Passage home Friday evening. When she woke around 6 a.m. Saturday, Reinbold was not home.

Robbins and her husband looked for their daughter, but when they were unable to locate her, they called police.

The mother said she found Facebook messages sent between her daughter and Ybarra. The messages suggested the two were going to meet at Pacana Park. From the timestamp on the messages, Robbins said she thinks her daughter left her home around 1 a.m. Saturday.

The mother said she was aware her daughter liked the teenage boy but had instructed her to stay away from him.

Robbins said her daughter’s closest friend received a Facebook message on Sunday from Reinbold that said: “I don’t know where I’m at.”

Prior to her daughter being found, Robbins said Reinbold leaving home was not like her.

“None of this makes sense,” she said. “This isn’t my daughter.”
