It was unclear how a Churchill High School student went missing Thursday or how she was found, but she made it home safely Monday.

Brittney “Butterfly,” Mackenzie Macumba, 15, who was last seen in the 1000 block of Vista Del Norte, was returned home with her father, her aunt Whitney Thompson-Minnich announced.

"She was found safe, and we're ecstatic that she's home," Minnich said during a phone interview.

The family was unable to divulge information regarding how Macumba was found or what caused her disappearance, citing an ongoing San Antonio Police Department investigation.

"We are so grateful to everyone for all of their support, prayers, and for sharing information, volunteering their time and efforts all this past week," the family announced via Facebook post.

"(We) want everyone to know that all of your efforts contributed to her safe return."

The family spent the weekend handing out fliers and sharing Macumba's description over social media, announcing they reached more than 100,000 people during the search.
