Florida Teen Found After Going Missing During School Field Trip

Delray Beach Teen Found Safe After Going Missing

A Florida high school student was found safe after it was reported she went missing during a school field trip in Georgia. Authorities said they found the 16-year-old at an Alabama home and arrested a male in connection with her disappearance.

Mia Brailford was last  seen by her tentmate around 11:30 p.m. on Saturday night but she was not present at Sunday’s 6 a.m. morning check-in, according to the school district.

“Brailford was located using technology resources available through the Georgia Bureau of Investigation that analyze historic cell phone data,” Sheriff Dan Kilgore said in a statement.

Earlier today the Palm Beach County School District just released in a statement this morning saying, “Investigators urge anyone who has heard from Mia or has information about her whereabouts to contact authorities immediately.”

The Upson County Sheriff’s Office is still investigating the case.

The sheriff said the search involved “tremendous resources” including citizen volunteers, fire volunteers, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and FBI. “We wish to commend and thank all who participated for their assistance in this case,” he added.

Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact their direct tip line at (706) 647-7411
