You will have debt collectors still trying to get the money for the car out of you even after they give up looking for the car. They won't go after you for the debt forever, but they will for a few years and if it's big enough even take you to court.
It's also possible that the dealership she was supposed to return it to went under and things got lost in the shuffle. Meaning the leasing company assumed it was turned in and the dealership mishandled things while they were going under.

At this point, that would be my first guess.
