EDMONTON — Edmonton Police said a nine-year-old girl reported missing earlier on Sunday was found at a south Edmonton restaurant.

Percephony White was reported missing after disappearing around 9:30 a.m. from the Health Sciences LRT station in south Edmonton. Police issued a plea to the media to get the word out in time for the evening news, and shortly after 6 p.m. several tips were called into EPS.

The child was found at a restaurant near 41 Avenue and 106 Street around 6:40 p.m.

Police had said the girl was vulnerable because she suffers from several disorders and functions at the level of a three to a seven-year-old, depending on her emotional state.

She did not know her address or how to get home, and did not have a cell phone or money with her.
