Missing person located, safe

A post on Facebook said “LOCATED AND SAFE,” indicating that a person who had been the subject of concern has been found and is no longer missing.

The brief social media message did not provide additional details about the individual, the circumstances of the disappearance or how long the person had been missing. Social media posts are commonly used by families and community groups to share urgent safety information quickly.

Announcements that a missing person has been located typically bring immediate relief to family members and neighbors and allow law enforcement and volunteers to stand down from active searches. Local authorities often follow up to confirm welfare and determine whether any further action, such as medical care or a welfare check, is needed.

Because the original post contained only the three words “LOCATED AND SAFE,” there is limited information available about the case. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
