HAWKINS COUNTY, Tenn. – The missing 9-year-old Tennessee girl has been located in Hawkins County, Tenn. and her uncle is in custody, dispatchers confirmed Thursday afternoon.

The two were found on Highway 70 North at Gravely Valley Road in Surgoinsville after receiving a tip. We know they were not found at a campground.

Police issued an Amber Alert for 9-year-old Carlie Trent last week, the day after authorities say 57-year-old Gary Simpson signed her out of school under false pretenses. Officials have said they believed the two to be in an “isolated area,” such as a campground.

The TBI said they believed Carlie was in “imminent danger of serious bodily harm or death.”

Simpson previously had custody of Carlie, but custodial rights were recently awarded to her father. The school system had not been updated on the change of custody, which is why Simpson was allowed to pick her up from school.

A reward of $40,000 was also being offered for information leading to her return. Charges against Simpson have been upgraded to especially aggravated kidnapping.

The TBI has a news conference scheduled for 5:15 p.m. CST. This is a breaking news story. Refresh for updates.
