Missing Ada teen found in Indianapolis
FROM THE ADA ICON - Elizabeth Saracson 14-years-old, who had spent the evening with her sister in Ada, and had left her home during the night hours, was found in Indianapolis, Ind., according to Michael Harnishfeger, Ada police chief.
On Monday, the Ada Police Department in concert with the Forest Police Department and the F.B.I. tracked Elizabeth down to a house in Indianapolis, Ind., where F.B.I. agents successfully located her and recover her from the home.
As initially believed, Elizabeth did leave Ada and arrive in Indianapolis on her own accord, according to Harnishfeger.
The investigation continues as to exactly how Elizabeth was transported to Indianapolis.
Elizabeth is currently in the custody of Child Protective Services in Indianapolis where arraignments are being made for her transportation back to Ohio.
