Authorities found a 15-year-old Andover, Minn., girl safe two days after they sought the public’s help in finding her and a 14-year Roseville boy, who was found safe on Dec. 31.
The Anoka County Sheriff’s Office had said the girl, Halle Marie Kelly Kennedy, had last been seen leaving her Andover home on a black mountain bike on Dec. 15. On Dec. 17, the sheriff’s office said she’d been found. No other details were released.
Separately, Roseville police had been searching for Izaich Mardis, 14, after investigators said he’d left for school one morning but did not arrive. He was found safe on Dec. 31 in southern California and placed in protective custody.
Authorities said two people were arrested in connection with his disappearance, including the boy’s biological mother, whose parental rights were terminated by the state in early 2019.
