but i am relieved she is safe. :B
TIPTON, Ind. -- Tipton police said a missing 10-year-old girl was found safe and sound at a Wendy's restaurant in Westfield late Tuesday, but her great-grandmother is missing. HUH??
Investigators said Serena Weicht had been riding her bike near North and Main streets in Tipton, near her home around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.
A witness said she heard a scream, the girl disappeared, and the bike was left on the ground, 6News' Ericka Flye reported.
A silver compact car was seen speeding from the scene, detectives said.
The community quickly fanned out through the neighborhood, passing out fliers with Serena's description.
Nearly three hours later, police said, Serena's father got a phone call from someone telling him they thought they had his daughter.
Investigators were able to track that phone call to the Wendy's in Westfield, off of U.S. 31, where they found Serena safe and sound.
Investigators questioned Serena and did not release any further details about the abduction.
Tipton police later learned that Serena's great-grandmother was also missing from Noblesville.
Investigators had not determined whether or not Serena's abduction was related to her great-grandmother's disappearance.
