Marley McKenna Spindler, the South Carolina teen who went missing for a week, was found safe in Mount Pleasant, police have revealed.
The teenager was found safe by the Mt. Pleasant Police Department at approximately noon on Wednesday and will soon be brought back to her family. No other details are currently available, according to NBC News.
Spindler mysteriously vanished from Horry County on the morning of Aug. 20 after she had breakfast with her friends at the Chick-Fil-A in Surfside Beach.
Police said that she went to Ocean Boulevard to pick up a friend and ended up missing her first day at school at Socastee High School. Initially a person of interest in the case, the friend was cleared by the police late last week, WMBF News reported.
The family and friends of the 16-year-old had feared that she had been kidnapped after she sent a text message about someone stalking her, which her friends thought was a joke, just before she disappeared.
Surveillance footage showed that Spindler withdrew less than $100 at a local bank and changed out of her school clothes and into a T-shirt. Her friends last heard from her at around 8:42 a.m when she took part in a group text message session, according to the New York Daily News.
