After a days-long search, authorities have located a missing Bibb County woman.

Special Agents with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s State Bureau of Investigation announced the disappearance of 52-year-old Monica Mitchell on Thursday afternoon. ALEA Senior Special Agent Jason Ward announced early Saturday that she had been found.

ALEA special agents, along with multiple agencies and first responders, located Mitchell on Friday by using tracking dogs, according to Ward. She was found along a creek in the Oakmulgee National Forest and was taken to a local hospital for medical evaluation.

“Thanks to all the agencies and first responders for their assistance in returning Monica Mitchell to her family and friends. This rescue was possible due to the dedication and commitment of all agencies involved in the search and rescue,” Ward said.

Before agents located Mitchell, the Duncanville native was last seen Tuesday near the Oakmulgee National Forest, driving a gray four-door Volkswagen Jetta. That vehicle was located in the forest on Wednesday.

Mitchell was described as white female with blond hair and blue eyes, and as 5 feet and 3 inches tall. SBI asked anyone with information on Mitchell’s whereabouts to contact the agency at 334-418-8852 or 1-800-392-8011.
