A North Atlanta High School student who went missing Aug. 5 has been found safe in Texas, according to an update from our sister publications Reporter Newspapers.
The police department for Atlanta Public Schools in a statement Wednesday morning confirmed that 14-year-old Caitlin Winchester has been found in Arlington. No details were offered on how she was found or why she was in Texas.
“The family has been notified and has requested privacy at this time,” said the statement, noting that the APS police was still working with the FBI on “next steps” in the investigation.
When Winchester didn’t return home from school last Thursday, an intense search began to find the missing teenager. The high school sent out missing person flyers. Facebook groups were created. The FBI and Atlanta Police Department joined the investigation, and a $100,000 reward was offered for her return.
