Arlington Runaway Katie Mesick Found Safe
Arlington Police say the 12-year-old ran away from home, but she's fine now.
According to tweets from Arlington Police, the 12-year-old girl pictured above was officially considered missing Thursday morning, and managed to make it all the way to Waltham before she was found by authorities.
Arlington Police told WBZ NewsRadio that an abduction was unlikely, and chances are the formerly missing person, Catherine ”Katie” Mesick, just ran away from home, according to a note she left for her parents explaining her grievances and motivations for wanting to be elsewhere.
