The 13-year-old girl in a group of four people that went missing in Ohio last week was reportedly found safe today.
Sarah Maynard was found inside a home in Mount Vernon, Ohio, and taken to Knox Community Hospital for evaluation, according to WBNS-TV in Columbus.
One person was taken into custody, but no other details were available, the television station reported.
Police had scheduled a news conference this afternoon to discuss their investigation of the disappearance Thursday of two women and two children from Howard, a small town in central Ohio.
Police reported Saturday that an "unusual amount of blood" was found in the home of Maynard's mother, Tina Herrmann, home after the four vanished last week.
"The one thing I can say about it is that it's an unusual amount," Knox County Sheriff David Barber said Saturday. "It isn't from someone stubbing their toe or cutting their finger, you know, or peeling an apple or something like that."
Also still missing are Herrmann's 10-year-old son Kody Maynard, and a friend, Stephanie Sprang, 41.
Ohio police are searching for the remaining three missing people, whose alarming disappearance prompted an Ohio college to go on lockdown Thursday night as police warned of a "potentially dangerous person in the vicinity."
Herrmann, 32, was reported missing by her boyfriend on Wednesday.
When she did not show up for work at a Dairy Queen Thursday, her co-workers went to her home looking for her and soon after called the police, Barber said.
"Thursday, Tina did not show up at work; she works at the local Dairy Queen in Mount Vernon," he said. "A co-worker came out and met deputies out here. Her truck was gone."
"When [Herrmann's co-worker] went in, she saw some things out of place," the sheriff said.
A search of the home revealed it to be in "unusual condition" for a place where woman and children lived, Barber said, but did not specify what that meant.
Herrmann's ex-husband Larry Maynard told WBNS-TV that a co-worker went inside the home and saw blood and things out of place before calling police.
