Missing 13-year-old girl from Pico Rivera reunited with mother
A missing teenage girl from Pico Rivera has been reunited with her mother after being found safe in Montebello, authorities said Sunday.
Annahi Tejeda had last been seen by family just before midnight Wednesday evening in the 8900 block of Gallatin Road, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Her image was later captured on surveillance video at a 7-Eleven on Poplar Avenue and Beverly Boulevard in Montebello just after midnight Thursday.
The 13-year-old first left after some sort of dispute regarding her cellphone. Loved ones had described her as "shy but very caring," and a 4.0 student with perfect attendance at her middle school in Rosemead.
As the search continued, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to her location. Family members placed signs throughout LA County in hopes that she will see them.
Montebello police were sent to the 500 block of North Fourth Street, where they found Tejada, the LASD reported.
She was taken into custody and transported to the Pico Rivera sheriff's station. A man was taken into custody and booked on unrelated charges, the LASD reported.
