The Somerset County Sheriff’s Office was seeking information Thursday to help locate a 15-year-old from Bingham.
By late afternoon, the young lady had returned home, and is safe, according to officials.
Veroneka Rivera was last seen on Meadow Street in Bingham around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday night, Sheriff Dale Lancaster said in an announcement sent to the news media.
Investigators believed Rivera could be with a man named Alec, whose last name was unknown, driving a red Honda Civic with a monkey sticker on the back window and an inoperable left headlight. The plate number and year of the vehicle were unknown.
Rivera was possibly heading toward Boston, Massachusetts, or Indiana, according to the sheriff’s office.
