The community of Deerfield Beach breathed a collective sigh of relief as the Broward Sheriff’s Office confirmed that 14-year-old Sarah Capo, previously reported missing, was found safe yesterday afternoon. As WSVN reports, after a strenuous weekend, the search came to an end when detectives were able to reunite Capo with her family.
Having last been spotted near Northwest Seventh Place and 38th Terrace at around 9:30 p.m. on Friday, the details around her disappearance raised concerns, particularly because Capo was missing without her phone or any belongings and hadn't been known to run away before. Having found safe later, two neighbors reported to her family that they saw Capo flag a car down to make a phone call, but she ran away from the car as it stopped, details not confirmed by the police, as noted by NBC Miami.
Her description made rounds in the local community and over social media. Sarah Capo stood 4 feet, 11 inches tall, weighed 140 pounds, and is described with black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a black shirt and shorts. Flyers were distributed in an effort to locate her both in Deerfield Beach and Boca Raton, where she attends school.
During the anxious period before she was located, Capo's biological father came from Orlando to assist with the search, joining the community's effort in bringing her home. After a worried weekend without any use of her bank accounts or social media, which told the authorities and her loved ones she had gone completely off the grid, she was found safe, as stated by WSVN. The circumstances surrounding her brief disappearance have not been publicly disclosed.
