A 19-year-old Colerain Township woman who was missing for nearly two weeks was found safe Thursday.

Colerain Township Chief Mark Denney confirmed around 1 p.m. Thursday that Kendra Wright had been found on McMicken Avenue in the West End after a tip, and that she was "safe and sound."

"She's absolutely fine and we're reuniting her with her father now," Denney said in an interview. "She was out on her own free will."

Denney said there's no evidence that Wright's disappearance had anything to do with drugs or alcohol.

"Colerain Police investigators worked around the clock following leads that led them to her location early this afternoon," Denney said in a release Thursday afternoon.
