KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – A teenage girl who went missing on Tuesday morning has been located.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office said 15-year-old Leah Waters was found and is safe.

The girl was last seen at about 9:20 a.m. on Tuesday, running into a nearby creek bed.

The original sheriff’s office report on the girl’s disappearance said she was a Kelseyville High School student who had left the school on Tuesday morning after a disagreement.

However, Kelseyville Unified Superintendent Dave McQueen told Lake County News that she is a middle school student who at the time of her initial disappearance hadn’t come to school for the day.

The Lake County Sheriff's Office thanked the community for its assistance in locating her.
