The pair were later located on March 17 when Esterly was arrested and charged.

Police believe Yu went willingly with Esterly.

In an interview with Dr. Phil, Esterly's then-wife Stacey broke her silence, saying she didn't believe their relationship was sexual.

"In my heart, I don't want to believe they were sexual and I'm hoping that this was just an infatuation with him trying to help her as a father figure and he got sucked into something," Stacey told Dr. Phil of her husband's relationship with Yu.

Esterly's wife has since filed for divorce and Yu's mother is suing him and her daughter's school for emotional and financial damages.

On Monday, state police say Yu, and two other girls, Nicole Richard, 17, and Ajah Linares, 16, left Vision Quest in an unknown vehicle around 1 a.m. on Monday.
