SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — A missing girl whose disappearance prompted a state advisory in South Dakota is safe.
Per the office of South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley, the 16-year-old who was last seen in Fort Pierre, S.D. Friday night was found safe in Colorado. Jackley says such an advisory is relatively rare, but Saturday’s case called for it.
“It’s especially concerning because her age, she’s 16, she has medications that she didn’t take with her, and she’s not responding to her cell phone,” Jackley said in an interview Monday afternoon before the child’s safety was announced. “So based upon that, we were concerned enough to get, to have the alert issued, and the hope is somebody in the public can give us some more information.”
