It's unclear whether she's returning to West Virginia. Lawyers who have previously worked with Lunsford won't return phone calls or emails.
Lunsford was living with her mother before she went to prison. Her mother has since died, and Lunsford filed for divorce from her husband, Ralph.
No one has been charged in the disappearance of Aliayah Lunsford.
Lunsford's other six children are in state care. Earlier this month, the state Supreme Court unanimously upheld a Lewis County judge's order terminating her parental rights.
