In a heartening turn of events, a Brooklyn Park family has been reunited with their daughter, a 13-year-old girl with autism who had previously been reported missing. The juvenile in question has been found and is now safe at home. An earlier plea from authorities had gone out to the community, appealing for help in locating the missing girl, as per the Brooklyn Park Police Department.
Maranda, described as a white female, was last seen in the vicinity of the 7500 block of Kentucky Ave N. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing a navy blue puffy coat, black jeans, and a skirt with pink and black stripes.
Maranda's autism diagnosis prompted particular concern, underlined by the police's request for witnesses to maintain a visual on her until officers arrived. After a tension-filled search, relief washed over the community as the update on her safe return broke, as reported by the Brooklyn Park Police Department.
