Update: Sussex County teen Elizabeth Chesner's mother tells NJ.com the 16-year-old was found with her boyfriend in Bloomfield.

— After a nearly nine-day search that involved multiple police departments, footwork from dozens of volunteers and backing from hundreds of online supporters, the 16-year-old borough girl who went missing March 24 has been found.

"At this time I don't have much information to offer the group here but I have confirmed the information with the police department and I am on my way to see my daughter now," mother Sharon Decker wrote early Tuesday morning to a

Decker told NJ.com Tuesday morning she doesn't know much about where her daughter was found, or under what circumstances — but police have confirmed to Decker that Chesner has been located and is safe, she said.

"I can actually take a breath now," Decker said. "I haven't slept in over a week. Now I've just got this adrenaline going."

Decker said she's waiting on word from police that she can come and see her daughter.

"Our prayers have been answered," she said.

NJ.com left messages for police early Tuesday and is awaiting a response.

Chesner's family last heard from her Sunday, March 24, when she spent the afternoon with her boyfriend. Franklin police said Monday that Chesner was seen the next day in Hamburg on Route 23, near Governor Haines Street. The day after that, police said, she was driven by someone to Bloomfield and spoke to her boyfriend there, but then left, asking her boyfriend to wait for her. She didn't return after that point, police said.

Online supporters posted this flyer to their own Facebook pages and elsewhere on the Web as police and volunteers searched for Sussex County teen Elizabeth Chesner over the last week.

Police had said they didn't suspect foul play. In a statement issued Monday, police said it was likely Chesner ran away and didn't want to be found.

In the time since her disappearance, hundreds of people joined the Facebook group dedicated to finding Chesner, many of them helping to spread awareness of the search through by sharing online flyers and other posts.

Dozens of volunteers made their way through Franklin, Vernon and Hamburg Monday before setting aside a search as the day got late and rain began. They checked stores, wooded areas and mine shafts, and knocked on doors, asking residents if they had seen Chesner.

They had expected to pick up the search again Tuesday, and another search had been scheduled for Thursday in Essex County, where Chesner was known to spend time.

"It's the end we all hoped for," Dorothy Macerley, one of the search organizers, wrote to NJ.com Tuesday morning. "(It) shows good things do happen. ... Whatever the case, maybe the family will have a long road ahead of them, but what matters now is Lizzy was found and safe back with her family, where a 16-year-old child should be. (I) wish them the best of luck and hope the world learn(s) something from this. Never give up hope. Together, team work matters."

Dozens of well-wishers celebrated finding Chesner after Decker made the announcement on Facebook Tuesday.

"Such a wonderful beautiful day!" Karen Hufnagel- Smith wrote "All our prayers were heard and answered."

"Wonderful news!" Michelle Martin Gonzalez wrote. "As long as there is life there is hope!"
