Henderson police confirm teen missing since Tuesday has been 'located'
Law enforcement officials in Henderson, Kentucky, disclosed Friday that a young girl who was reported missing earlier this week had been located.
The announcement came just after 4 p.m. when the Henderson Police Department, on its public Facebook page, noted that 13-year-old Kayley Ross was no longer considered missing.
The department's post on Friday did not provide additional information concerning the circumstances surrounding Ross' disappearance or disclose how she was found.
Thursday morning, a woman who identified herself as Ross' grandmother sought the public's help in locating Ross via a personal Facebook post.
The family member said Ross had not been seen since Tuesday: "Please share this post," they wrote. "I'm worried sick about her."
The Courier & Press sought to clarify with Henderson police whether Ross had been found safe as opposed to just "located." HPD Sgt. Lucas J. Oliver told the newspaper, "This case involves a juvenile, and we can't release further information."
