(UPDATE) — The search for a missing Billings teenager has come to an end. Calli Leavitt has been found safe after being missing since Friday night, according to her family.

Calli, a freshman at West High School, was last seen around 10 p.m. on Oct. 24 near Amend Park on the city’s South Side. She was reportedly wearing baggy blue jeans and a gray zip-up hoodie at the time she disappeared.

Her mother, Amberlee Leavitt, shared an update Sunday evening announcing that Calli had been located.

“‼️FOUND‼️Update 10/26 6:30 p.m.Calli has been found due to the tireless efforts of those dedicated to finding her. We are at the hospital now and are beyond grateful for the support and assistance from the entire Billings community! She will be okay in time.
