CASA GRANDE, Ariz. — A Casa Grande family says their 14-year-old daughter who’s been missing since last week has been found.
Police confirm there was an open case for Karleigh Cardenas, who was last seen in Glendale, 60 miles away from her family’s home in Pinal County.
Her family had been walking and driving around this neighborhood the past several days trying to find her. And they recently started a social media campaign to get her picture out there.
One of the last places the teen was seen was at the Popeyes on 59th and Northern avenues in Glendale, according to Casa Grande police.
She was reported missing on August 29, according to Casa Grande police. They were investigating the case as a juvenile runaway. The details weren't clear yet why Karleigh left her home, how she got to Glendale, or whether she was with anybody.
Cardenas' family told 12News Thursday that the teenager had been located and was being evaluated at a hospital.
