A teen who went missing from Buffalo, Minn., has been found safe in Iowa, authorities said Wednesday afternoon.

Anna Marie Thorson, 15, was last seen in Buffalo, in Wright County, on Sunday. There were enough concern about her whereabouts that police on Wednesday sought the public's help in finding her.

Investigators were concerned because the teen's developmental challenges "make it difficult for her to recognize dangerous situations," the the BCA said its initial statement Wednesday.

No other information was immediately available on the girl or how she was found.
