Green Valley High School senior Mariah Wilson was in sixth-period class when she and her classmates heard the news — fellow senior Melissa Duran had been kidnapped.
She has known Duran since sixth grade. Duran, 17, is sweet and outgoing; the person who bought people lunches when they didn’t have the money and diffused conflicts with peers through coffee and conversation rather than fights.
