Amiya Hoopengarner’s dad picked his daughter up early Wednesday morning.
A woman whose son is friends with Hoopengarner knew her location and told his mother, who called Hoopengarner’s father, Chief Deputy Al Kisner of the Monongalia County Sheriff’s Department said.
Officers with the Morgantown Police Department went to a home in the Suncrest area at 3:34 a.m., after getting an anonymous tip that she was there, according to Deputy Chief Eric Powell.
Hoopengarner was found and taken to the Monongalia County Sheriff’s Department, Powell said.
Hoopengarner was in no danger, Kisner said.
On Tuesday, police asked for the public’s help in locating her because she was missing for so long without contact with her family. She was reported missing by her dad on April 9.
The department decided to go public with Hoopengarner’s disappearance after speaking with her dad on Tuesday, who still hadn’t heard from her, Kisner said.
