Two young Florida girls have been found safe and sound after they stole a car and drove 400 miles to meet someone they’d connected with online, police say.
The Lake Butler girls, ages 12 and 14, had been missing since April 6th, when they disappeared along with a black Ford Taurus owned by the 12-year-old’s father, according to the Union County Sheriff’s Office. The pair then drove to Bayou La Batre, Alabama, to “meet someone they met online,” says Chief Deputy Lyn Williams. Bayou La Batre is about 400 miles away from Lake Butler.
Due to “suspicious circumstances” in the case, the matter has been turned over to federal officials, Williams says. No further information has been released.
