Angelic "Anji" Tracy Dean was found Wednesday after quietly walking out of her home June 23

The 17-year-old missing Camas teen, Angelic "Anji" Tracy Dean, was found safe at the Clackamas Town Center Wednesday evening, the Clark County Sheriff's Office said.

The teen disappeared June 23 after leaving a note saying that if she was found she was likely in trouble or dead. Authorities were concerned that she may have become a victim of sex traffickers.

She was reunited with her family in Clark County Wednesday.

Sgt. Kevin Allais of the Clark County Sheriff's Office major crimes unit said the wide spread sharing of Dean's disappearance led to her safe return. The Office received more than 150 tips.

The Clark County Sheriff's Office said it is conducting an investigation that includes the crime of human trafficking.

Michelle Bart, a family spokesperson, said the family wanted to thank news organizations for spreading the word about Dean's disappearance.

Dean slipped out of her parents' house between 9 and 10:30 p.m on June 23.

Her family later found a spiral notebook tucked into a binder under her bed. In a note dated June 5, Dean wrote: "If you're reading this, I'm probably missing. ... I'm not missing because I hate you ... When or if you find me ... I'll be all used up or dead. Meth addict, heroin too just so I can get through all the pain."

Lynda Jorgensen, Dean's mother, said her daughter appeared to be on a good path. She had competed as a cheerleader, participated in the Clark County Explorer program and planned to become a cadet. She was almost fluent in American Sign Language, has a flair for drawing and a beautiful singing voice.

When she indicated she was having problems, her parents found her a counselor. They figured she was just depressed.
