Lauren Elizabeth Rennard Update: Missing Woman Found in Philadelphia

NEW YORK (CBS) Police say 23-year-old Lauren Elizabeth Rennard, who was missing since Dec. 30, was found by her parents Wednesday in Philadelphia.

According to local newspaper The Pottstown Mercury, state police issued a missing person alert on Monday after Rennard's family said they hadn't seen her since last Thursday.

The woman is from Collegeville, Pa., about 30 miles northwest of Philadelphia.

According to MontgomeryNews.com, the family would not comment as to why the troubled woman was in Philadelphia or had gone missing. State police said they did not believe she was abducted.

Court documents obtained by The Reporter Online show Rennard pleaded guilty in 2008 to a misdemeanor charge of identity theft, after she admitted using a former co-worker's debit card to make unauthorized bank withdrawals.

She was sentenced to three years probation and was ordered to pay more than $9,000 in restitution.
