Police say 13-year-old Smyrna girl wasn’t kidnapped and is safe

The 13-year-old Smyrna girl reported missing Monday was not kidnapped as police had initially been told.

Detectives interviewed the girl and determined that she had not been abducted, Smyrna Police spokesman Ed Cason said.

She turned up late Monday after being reported missing after rollerblading on Cutler Ridge at 2:40 p.m., Cason said.

The girl’s roller blades were found in bushes at a neighbor’s home. A search began after attempts to reach her by cell phone were unsuccessful.
