(AP) — Two missing 16-year-old Nebraska girls have been found in Florida.
Racheal Bates and Samantha Zuerlein were found Sunday morning sleeping in a 1997 Lincoln Continental on the streets of Titusville, Fla.
They were last seen on March 15.
Lincoln Police Capt. David Beggs says the girls are physically OK, but Titusville police are holding them until their parents can make arrangements to pick them up. And their mental health is being evaluated.
Teresa Zuerlein says it was a huge relief to learn Sunday that her daughter is OK. Zuerlein says she’s surprised the girls made it all the way to Florida and kept on the move.
