A 12-year-old Chinese girl missing for two days was found safe with relatives on the East Coast early Saturday after disappearing from her youth tour group, authorities said.
A tip provided to the FBI and forwarded to the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Department led investigators to Yukun Jia around 9 a.m., sheriff’s spokeswoman Bronwyn Hogan said.
“She is safe with relatives and in good spirits,” said Hogan, who would not reveal the city in which Yukun was found to protect the girl’s privacy and security.
FBI spokesman Andrew Black confirmed Yukun was safe and said foul play was not suspected.
Hogan said Yukun’s relatives met her at San Francisco International Airport on Thursday, and they flew east together.
