He didn't know how she got there and was in the process just before 3:30 p.m. of notifying her family, he said.
She was found roughly a half-mile to a mile from her home.
The search, which began after 8:30 a.m. when she was reported missing and considered endangered, involved "a lot of great effort over here," Garcia said.
In addition to Lopatcong police, fire and EMS and Warren County emergency management, Phillipsburg, Greenwich Township, Stewartsville and Pohatcong Township contributed resources to the search. Other personnel were called in as the search continued.
