The girls were last seen in their hometown of Lake Butler, Florida, and were reported missing Thursday morning before being found the same day in Bayou La Batre, Alabama. At the time, the Union County Sheriff’s Office said they were not accompanied by an adult, and no foul play was suspected.
The girls traveled about 400 miles from Florida to Louisiana, and they thought they were going to meet a teenager they had connected with online, whose identity is still unknown. According to Williams, the investigation is ongoing.
“Many thanks to the multiple agencies involved across Florida, Alabama and Louisiana,” the Union County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post after the girls were returned.
