GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. -- The search for a missing 12-year-old is over after she was found unharmed in Las Vegas, Nev.
Pricilla Ristick was last seen Sunday when she and her uncle, Joey Thompson, took a break from selling flowers at a Lilburn strip mall and went to get a pizza from Little Caesars.
Investigators with the Gwinnett County Police Special Victims Unit learned that Pricilla began to call Thompson’s cell phone from a blocked number. Investigators met with Thompson and learned that Pricilla stated that she was in a building with many people and they wouldn’t let her leave.
Investigators took possession of the phone and around 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Pricilla began to call her uncle and spoke with the investigators and indicated that she didn’t want to go home and claimed she was at a Kroger in Atlanta and she was fine.
As the investigators spoke with Pricilla on the phone, they were able to get the number she was calling from.
The phone was traced to an intersection in Las Vegas, Nev. As the investigators continued to speak with her on the phone, they contacted the Las Vegas Police Department and notified them of her location.
LVPD responded to that location and found Pricilla and took her into custody. Pricilla is now safe and unhurt.
Pricilla informed LVPD that she caught a bus to Las Vegas and had been there for one or two days. LVPD placed her into the care of Child Services.
