BOISE, Idaho — A Boise woman who went missing over the weekend has been found safe, police announced late Wednesday night.
Police released few details about how or where Beatrice Nyabenda was found other than to say she was located in Boise.
"She is safe and has been reunited with family," police said in a news release. "Thank you to everyone who called in tips, your extra eyes make a difference."
Earlier in the day, investigators sent out another plea for information on the whereabouts of Nyabenda, who went missing after walking away from her home near East Boise Avenue and South Apple Street on Sunday.
She was spotted later near East Warm Springs Avenue and Starview Drive a few miles away.
"Due to the extreme heat, Nyabenda's previous medical concerns, and the fact that she has been missing for several days, officers and her family are worried for her safety," the police department wrote earlier on Wednesday.
Residents who live in the area Nyabenda was last seen were urged to check their backyards, outbuildings and any unattended property around their homes.
