Missing Beaver County girl found safe in Ohio, multiple people facing criminal charges

NEW SEWICKLEY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Multiple people are facing criminal charges after a missing girl from Beaver County was found safe in Ohio.

The Bucyrus Police Department says the 17-year-old girl was located safely at the home of a suspect, who has been arrested.

Bucyrus police say they were notified around 2 p.m. on Saturday that a suspect connected to the girl’s disappearance was believed to be at a nearby fast food restaurant.

Police interviewed the suspect and determined that the person had traveled to Pennsylvania to pick up her up.

Around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, police found the girl safe at the suspect’s home just outside Bucyrus. At that point, the suspect was arrested.

Saturday night, at 11:30 p.m., officials announced that the girl had been found and reunited with her family.

The girl was reported missing from New Sewickley Township on Friday.

More than two dozen agencies assisted with the investigation into her disappearance.

New Sewickley Township Police Chief Gregory Carney says several individuals are facing criminal charges due to their involvement in the incident and the extent of the investigation.

At this time, no suspects’ names have been released.

“The positive outcome from this investigation could not have been possible without the collaborative effort of many volunteer organizations and law enforcement agencies,” Carney said.
