Missing Mom Left 'To Start a New Life;' Husband Doesn't 'Blame' Her

April 22, 2010— -- The missing Ohio mom who sparked a nationwide search had run away to "start a new life," police said today, but her forgiving husband said he wants her back and doesn't "blame her for any of this."

Tiffany Tehan, 31, disappeared Saturday, leaving behind her husband David and her 1-year-old daughter Lexie.

Her vanishing act triggered a nationwide hunt until police, acting on an FBI tip, found her staying at a Miami Beach motel with Tre Hutcherson, a man cops had called a person of interest in her disappearance. Police quickly determined that Tehan was not in danger.

"She left voluntarily with this fellow and drove to Miami to -- and these are her words -- start a new life," Miami Beach police Sgt. Wayne Jones told ABC News.

Upon police request, Tehan called her parents and husband to ensure them of her safety.

David Tehan told ABC News today he was angry at Hutcherson, but said he "absolutely" forgives his wife. When asked why he forgave her, Tehan said, "I don't know. It's supernatural."

"She may have made some mistakes, but everyone does and I can't blame her for any of this," the husband said. "She's a person like anyone else getting through life, and it's not always easy."

David Tehan said he wants his wife to come home and work out the problems in their marriage.

"There may be issues to work out, but that's okay. Issues we can work out," he said.

During his phone call with his wife after she was discovered, she asked about Lexie and "told us she missed us," David Tehan said.

The husband said they were so busy that he hadn't suspected anything was wrong.

Tehan's father Chuck Tabor became emotional when he heard that his daughter was found unharmed.

"Just to know my little girl is safeand I can't say enough about that," Tabor said through tears.
