Missing 6-year-old Georgia girl found safe

Habersham County authorities have canceled a Levi’s Call after a 6-year-old girl and her 17-year-old sister were located Monday morning in Walker County.

Both children were found safe, Lt. Matt Wurtz with the Habersham County Sheriff’s Office told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Levi’s Call, Georgia’s version of an Amber Alert, was issued because of the younger girl’s age, he said.
