A 16-year-old girl who went missing Tuesday -- spurring a public call for help to find her -- has turned up in St. Paul, police said Friday.

Amanda D. Manery is being returned to her legal guardians, Minneapolis police spokesman Sgt. William Palmer said in a news release.

No other details were available.

On Thursday night, police issued the call for help, saying that Manery needed daily medication and did not have any medicine with her.

Palmer said then that the girl was last seen near 14th and Thomas Avenues N. in Minneapolis, but that she also had ties to St. Paul and Woodbury.
