PEORIA, Ariz. — UPDATE: Peoria police said Jennifer Barnett was found Tuesday and is safe.

A woman from Ohio was recently reported missing and possibly in danger and the Peoria Police Department is asking for the public's help in finding her. 

Peoria police are looking for Jennifer Barnett, a 31-year-old white woman who's 5 feet 6 inches tall, 160 lbs with brown hair and brown eyes. 

Barnett's last known location was in the area of Old Carefree Highway and Lake Pleasant Parkway on Feb. 2. She was last known to be traveling in a Silver 2008 Dodge Durango with an Ohio license plate of JLV9603.
