The weeklong search for a missing Habersham County teenager has ended and she is back home, safe with family, the Habersham County Sheriff’s Office says.
Alexia Peppers, 16, of Turnerville, was located with the help of other law enforcement agencies in the Atlanta area.
Peppers disappeared from her home on Pantherbrook Lane on May 30. The search for the Turnerville teen intensified after authorities said they believed she was in the company of a 20-year-old man who was possibly armed and dangerous.
Authorities have not said whether that man, Derrick Jayden Wing, was with Peppers when police found her in Atlanta.
“Due to the ongoing investigation, we are not able to release specifics of the case at this time,” says sheriff’s spokesperson Rob Moore.
Now Habersham will update this article as new information is released.
