COLUMBIA, S.C. — The Richland County Sheriff's Department announced Monday, Feb. 7, 15-year-old Zmaiah Carter has been found.
Sheriff Leon Lott said in a statement, "We are glad that Zmaiah was found. She was a runaway but we treated her as a missing teenager and used all of our resources to find someone who did not want to be found. Our prayers were with her parents as they were going through this very difficult time."
Investigators say that Carter was last seen at her school on January 25 wearing a grey zip-up jacket, dark blue jean pants, black boots, and a black headband.
