(WXYZ) - Recovery is the word FBI agents used to describe the outcome of 16-year-old Amy Vargas' disapperance.

Vargas was found safe in Mexico Monday morning and returned to her family. Some of her friends from Dakota High School in Macomb County said they talked to her on MySpace on Sunday. She said that she was with some friends and that she was working and was happy over there, according to Elias Lopez, one of Vargas' friends.

Authorities said Vargas was unharmed and didn't appear to be under any duress.

The young woman disappeared in Cancun late Thursday. Since then there had been conflicting information about what happened to her. Chief among the confusion were conflicting reports about a voice mail message from Vargas. 

A manager at the Great Parnassus Resort in Cancun told Action News he heard a voice mail from Vargas' grandmother's cell phone. She said she was in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, that she has found work and she does not want to return to the U.S.

The information has not been confirmed by the FBI or Vargas' mother.  

Vargas left last Saturday with her grandmother and great-grandmother for a long-planned vacation to the Great Parnassus Resort in Cancun. She was reportedly playing baseball on the beach and went to the restroom before she was reported missing.

The FBI says since Vargas is a minor it will be up to her family to decide when she will come back to Michigan.
