"She is unharmed and is on her way home," Largy said.

Search manager Jerry Haak said searchers would continue into the night, hoping to catch a break.
“I’ve got about 20, 25 members out there now, biking around, walking around, doing all the trails, all the schools, all the events centre as well,” Haak said.

“She hasn’t done this at all,” Haak said. “We think she’s just scared. She had a little bit of an argument with her mom, and we think she’s just scared. She’s just waiting to cool down.”
